Rebuilding the Ship at Sea: What AI Actually Changes in Security

This session examines how AI fits into the changes that information security has undergone through the lens of the Greco-Roman philosopher Plutarch’s Ship of Theseus paradox. In the past 15 years, we have seen the success of ransomware, a move to the cloud, implementation of zero-trust, remote work through COVID, and now AI. Just like the Ship of Theseus during its mythic journey, many of the planks on which we’ve stood and so many of the oars we pull have been replaced. But it’s important to keep sight of how security fundamentals remain the same as we navigate the changing waters of artificial intelligence with its radical promise and unprecedented risk.
