Welcome everyone! Today, we're discussing how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity. Can anyone give me an example of how AI can be misused in cyber threats?
AI-generated phishing emails! They sound more convincing.
Exactly! These emails can trick many users. Now, can someone mention a defense mechanism involving AI?
AI-based anomaly detection, right?
Spot on! A valuable defense that helps identify unusual patterns. Let's remember that as 'AD' for Anomaly Detection. Great job, team! To summarize, AI presents threats and defensesβalways stay vigilant!

Moving on, let's discuss Zero Trust Architecture, or ZTA. Why do we say 'never trust, always verify'?
Because threats can come from inside a network too, right?
Exactly! So, what is one core feature of ZTA?
Continuous authentication!
Yes! Continuous authentication ensures users are always verified. Let's use 'CTA' as a quick reference. Remember, ZTA mitigates risks from both internal and external actors. Well done, all!

Now, letβs delve into the regulations shaping cybersecurity. What are examples of new regulations we've seen recently?
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act in India?
Correct! Itβs essential as we manage personal data. Student_2, can you share another regulation?
Oh! The NIS2 Directive in the EU!
Exactly! Regulations help maintain ethical standards and compliance. Let's make 'REG' our memory aid for regulations in ethics. Always prioritize ethical practices in cybersecurity!
