Ilvesa Foundation, in cooperation with the Employers’ Confederation of Latvia (LDDK), has launched a series of expert discussion sessions for business leaders. The first event took place in summer 2026.

Gregory Cardiet, a representative of leading global cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, spoke to LDDK members in the online discussion “AI in Practice: Safe and Effective” about how artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing cyber threats, making attacks faster, more sophisticated and harder to detect, as well as about practical ways to address these cybersecurity risks.

The key points from Gregory Cardiet’s presentation included the growing speed of AI-enabled attacks – the time available for a company to detect and stop an incident is becoming increasingly short. Organisations also need to be aware of prompt injection attacks – for example, a company may receive a candidate’s CV containing hidden instructions designed to manipulate an AI system. At the same time, people and organisational culture remain critical to cybersecurity.

If attackers are using artificial intelligence, companies also need to use AI in their security systems to identify threats and respond to them more quickly. Particular attention should be paid to multi-factor authentication, user access management, regular software updates, and the security assessment of partners and suppliers.

Ilvesa Foundation will continue working with LDDK to organise meetings with industry experts. The aim of these events is to help business leaders stay informed about rapidly evolving cybersecurity risks, exchange experience, and strengthen the resilience of Latvian companies against digital threats.
