AI is everywhere in cybersecurity right now—but is it solving problems or just shifting them? As organizations face mounting pressure to adopt AI tools, security leaders must navigate a wave of hype, half-truths, and real innovation. At the same time, ransomware remains a top threat vector, with attacker tactics evolving just as fast as the tech used to stop them.

In this SC panelcast, experts from Sophos and the SC Media team will cut through the noise.

We’ll explore how AI can actually help defenders—from accelerating triage to improving detection fidelity—and where its risks still outweigh the rewards.

We’ll also preview early insights from Sophos’ 2025 State of Ransomware report, highlighting how ransomware trends intersect with AI-driven defense strategies. Whether you’re just exploring AI adoption or rethinking your existing approach, this session will help you make smarter, safer decisions in a rapidly evolving threat landscape
