Beyond the Hype: The Real Business Impact of AI


Jake Moore Bio
Jake Moore, Crime Enthusiast and Global Cybersecurity Advisor for ESET, brings a unique edge to the digital security realm. With a 14-year background in a UK police force specialising in Digital Forensics and Cybercrime, Jake possesses an in-depth understanding of computer crime. Leveraging this experience, he now guides businesses and their employees in bolstering their cybersecurity, blending real-world crime-fighting insights and social engineering techniques with advanced digital security strategies to combat evolving AI and cyber threats.

Juraj Janosik Bio
Juraj joined ESET in 2008 as a malware analyst and currently leads the Automated Detection and Artificial Intelligence program responsible for applied research and incorporation of AI and ML into our products, as well as backend pipelines with a high level of complexity, including data lakes, telemetry systems, and autonomous detection systems design. He was a member of several international working groups focused on botnet eradication (e.g., Dorkbot, Gamarue, 3ve), and presented at several international private and public conferences including RSA, MWC, CARO and NATO events. In his free time, he’s a dedicated dad and husband passionate about science, as well as fresh snow, mountain peaks, and great views.

Valeria Nicolosi Bio
Professor Valeria Nicolosi is a leading expert in nanomaterials and advanced microscopy, currently based at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), where she heads the Characterisation & Processing of Advanced Materials (CPAM) Research Group. Her work focuses on the development and processing of low-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanowires, and 2D nanosheets, with applications in energy storage, electronics, and sustainable materials.
She is internationally recognized for her pioneering contributions to electron microscopy and nanomaterials processing, particularly in the scalable fabrication of functional nanomaterials. Her group is known for integrating advanced structural characterization techniques with materials engineering, enabling breakthroughs in fields like electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, where they are currently developing MXene-based composite materials using recycled wood and additive manufacturing technologies.
Professor Nicolosi’s research is supported by prestigious funding, including a European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept (PoC) grant, and she collaborates widely across Europe. Her work has attracted over €40 million in research funding, including eight ERC grants - a record in Europe. Her leadership extends to mentoring PhD and undergraduate students, and she plays a key role in interdisciplinary projects that bridge chemistry, physics, and materials science.

Tudor Dobrila Bio
Tudor Dobrila is a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft with over 11 years of experience in the security space. He previously led engineering teams within Microsoft Defender Antivirus, shipping security software to over one billion devices worldwide. Today, Tudor focuses on applying AI to protect the software supply chain across global distribution hubs and marketplaces. His work spans AI driven malware detection, publisher reputation, and large scale threat identification, combining advanced automation with human expertise to address emerging risks in an increasingly AI enabled threat landscape
