"AI & Cybersecurity: Proactive Defence for the Future"
As Sri Lanka’s digital landscape expands at breakneck speed, our cybersecurity defences must evolve even faster. The 11th Annual Cyber Security Summit 2025 (17th-18th September) arrives at a critical juncture, where artificial intelligence emerges as both our greatest challenge and most powerful weapon in the fight against cyber threats.
This year’s landmark event focuses on revolutionizing cybersecurity through AI – shifting from reactive firefighting to intelligent, predictive defense systems. The cyber threat landscape has reached alarming new levels:
- Global ransomware attacks surged 72% in 2024, with some sectors seeing 105% increases
- Remote work vulnerabilities led to a 400% spike in brute-force attacks
- AI-powered threats now account for 35% of sophisticated cyberattacks (2024 Global Threat Report)
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka faces critical challenges:
➔ Accelerated digital transformation without proportional security investment
➔ A growing skills gap as IT professionals seek opportunities abroad
➔ Increasingly sophisticated attackers using AI-driven reconnaissance and exploit development
This year's summit will explore how AI can transform our defense capabilities through:
AI-Driven Threat Detection
Predictive Cybersecurity Systems
Automated Defense Infrastructure
Ethical AI & Regulatory Frameworks
