We all know that Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning (ML), Predictive Learning (PL), and Generative AI (GenAI)), can provide real benefits to cybersecurity professions, like faster response times and better threat detection.
But, there are also risks to consider as well, including false positives from the predictive models, hallucinations and bias responses from Generative AI, and the possibility of AI being attacked with data poisoning and side channel attacks.
How do you being to identify the risks for your organizations, and the rewards?
In this session we will review the current ways ML, PL, and GenAI are currently being used in cybersecurity tools and equipment to boost productivity and accuracy, and the risks that ML, PL, and GenAI present.
On the reward side we will review how AI helps with threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, malware detection, phishing detection, and training.
On the risk side we will review how AI can create false positives, generate very believable fakes (video, voice, emails), and expose your organization to attackers in ways you didn't anticipate.
This discussion will be interactive and engaging for everyone regardless of skill level or experience.
