How Can Organizations Combat the AI-Enhanced Threat Actor?

Has your organization adjusted its cybersecurity priorities because AI can accelerate vulnerability discovery or exploitation?

These were the same questions I asked the audience at Secure Delaware* on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, as I moderated a session entitled "Combatting the Artificially Enhanced Threat Actor."

What role can information sharing and collective defense play in helping state, local, tribal and territorial organizations keep pace with increasingly automated threats?

Information sharing through groups like REN-ISAC and MS-ISAC enables universities and local governments to pool threat intelligence instantly.

Frame AI threats through the lens of accelerated velocity and scale on existing vulnerabilities — such as automated phishing and faster exploit delivery — rather than speculative sci-fi scenarios.
