Keynote: State of Cloud Security & Emerging Trends Insights on the Cloud Threat Landscape

This session is tailored to equip CISOs with insights into the interplay between human expertise and AI technologies in the context of cybersecurity. It will explore how synergy between human intelligence and AI can bolster the organization’s defenses and create a more resilient cybersecurity posture.

Heather and John will explore augmented intelligence, where AI systems amplify human capabilities rather than replacing them, the power of AI in threat detection and analysis, designing AI systems with a human-centric approach, and the ethical implications and potential biases that can arise from AI algorithms.

They will also examine the ways in which AI can be used to identify potential insider threats based on behavioral patterns and strategies for upskilling cybersecurity teams to effectively collaborate with AI technologies.

Securing your Cloud Journey - Platform Perspective

Managing and reducing the associated risk requires education, awareness and vigilance. One such disruption that has sprung up recently in a big way is Generative AI. It has caused a sea change in how organizations manage their cybersecurity programs and mitigate risks. To say the least, it has become a hot topic in CISO circles.

To vouch for this and share their observations, Cisco’s CISO Advisors team will be discussing how GenerativeAI and securing for it are a focal point for many conversations they are having in the security leadership community. They’ll discuss how it’s being used for nefarious purposes, the responsibility of putting guardrails around its use and how security orgs can benefit from its capabilities. All of this against the broader canvas of educating users on its use and raising awareness about the risks associated with its rise.
