Black Hat USA 2026

AI is changing cybersecurity, but it isn't changing the fundamentals.

Across conversations, presentations, and expert discussions at the ESET booth, a clear theme emerged: while AI is accelerating both attack and defense capabilities, organizations still need a layered security strategy.

Key takeaways from the event:
✅ AI considerably expands the attack surface.
✅ Threat actors continue to pursue high-value targets and sensitive data.
✅ Attack timelines have compressed from weeks to hours, or even minutes.
✅ Effective detection, response, and containment are more critical than ever.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the ESET booth and joined the conversation.
