Turning the Tide:
Using AI to Restore Balance in the Cybersecurity Arms Race

Networking Dinner at Altro Zafferano, Singapore

WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS

Cyberattacks are evolving faster than ever—fueled by AI that enables adversaries to automate, personalize, and scale threats at unprecedented speed. Most defenders, by contrast, remain trapped in a high-stakes game of catch-up, constrained, unable or unwilling to adopt and use AI in their security operations, whilst a single missed signal can and will still lead to breach or compromise – an untenable catch 22.

This invitation-only executive roundtable, hosted by NTT DATA and Google Cloud, brings together cybersecurity leaders to explore how AI can level the playing field—not just by detecting threats faster and earlier, but by transforming how security teams design, operate, and scale their defenses. We’ll examine recent trends in AI-powered attacks, discuss real-world case studies from Google and NTT DATA, and share actionable strategies that go beyond the tick box of compliance to achieve continuous resilience at scale.

Key Discussion Topics::

  • New breach patterns and attacker tactics driven by generative AI
  • Architecting AI-powered SecOps: From reactive defense to proactive intelligence
  • What C-level leaders need to know: Threat Centric risk reduction, and strategic advantage
  • Lessons from the field: Implementation challenges, successes—and what to avoid
  • How NTT Data and Google Cloud are helping clients build future-ready security postures

Whether you lead security strategy or shape its daily execution, this candid, peer-driven conversation focused on real challenges, proven solutions, is certain to produce valuable insights on what it takes to defend at the speed of AI.
