Attackers have AI now, that’s not new! They’re pointing it at the businesses least equipped to fight back. For SMBs, the threat landscape has shifted: phishing, identity attacks, and intrusion are faster, cheaper, and more convincing than ever. At the same time, those same SMBs are racing to adopt AI internally, usually with no policy and no guardrails, leaking data into public models and opening a second front their partners can’t see. And underneath it all is the noise, leaving owners overwhelmed and partners under pressure to have the answers.

This session gives the channel a security-first view of AI: how attackers are weaponising it, how SMBs should be governing their own adoption with real policies, and how partners turn that protection into a genuine, repeatable revenue stream. You’ll leave knowing how to defend your customers, advise them, and grow your business doing it.
