"Stay ahead of telecom security threats with GenAI"

Thursday, May 15 2025 at 11 am EST

Telecom networks are evolving rapidly with 5G, cloud, and automation, but so are cyber threats. Sophisticated adversaries are now targeting telecom infrastructure with advanced persistent threats (APTs), leveraging AI-driven malware, signaling attacks, and deep network infiltration techniques. These threats are often designed for espionage, data exfiltration, and long-term persistence, bypassing traditional security defenses.

Generative AI (GenAI) is a powerful tool in telecom security – helping predict, detect, and respond to emerging threats with greater speed and accuracy. But how do CSPs move beyond hype and deploy GenAI-driven security at scale? This session dives into the practical applications of GenAI in cybersecurity, showcasing how telecom providers can stay ahead of evolving threats with AI-driven security operations.
