AI's impact on security has levelled the playing field, both attackers and defenders now use similar tools. The advantage belongs to whoever applies AI with discipline. This playbook, drawn from a Smarttech247 + Splunk expert panel, covers:

  • Model subversion, the emerging attack surface most teams haven't mapped
  • LameHug, the first known malware to integrate an LLM for live command generation
  • Why accountability rests with the organisation, not the algorithm, under NIS2 and the EU AI Act
  • The global regulatory divide between the EU, US, and Asia
  • How VisionX + Splunk close the gap between AI-era threats and real-time defence
