Description

Cyber criminals have embraced AI just as fast – if not faster – than those of us who use AI for defense or other legitimate purposes. In this presentation, you’ll get a primer on “what is AI” and how it impacts the CIA triad security model (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). This history lesson will include a discussion of problems involving AI policy and new shadow IT threat AI tools. Plus, you’ll learn how to “Think Evil” to improve your cybersecurity.

In this session you will:

  • Gain a clearer understanding of AI and its components such as machine learning, plus you’ll gain an understanding of ethical AI and why it is needed.
  • Learn why you can benefit from “Thinking Evil” and how to use threat modeling in your cybersecurity defense.
  • Find out more about how bad actors use AI, and how you can counter that with your own AI cybersecurity defense.
