Governing Generative AI in your Organization
5:30 - 8:00pm ET | Atlanta, GA
Event Overview
Generative AI represents a critical inflection point in the technological landscape, offering immense power to transform operations while simultaneously expanding the attack surface.
How are threat actors leveraging it to automate attacks and craft sophisticated social engineering campaigns? How can defenders harness it to achieve unprecedented speed and precision?
Attempting to block Generative AI is futile and counterproductive, serving only to strengthen “Shadow AI” footprints. Instead, organizations must adopt a mindful governance strategy that includes rigorous risk assessment, third-party evaluation and adherence to frameworks such as Deloitte’s Trustworthy AI and NIST. By effectively bridging security data with actionable knowledge, we will demonstrate how AI can tip the balance in favor of defenders.
What does good governance look like, and how do you get there? Join your peers and subject matter experts at this exclusive dinner discussion about Gen AI governance.
Among the discussion points:
- How are threat actors weaponizing Gen AI to automate, scale and create new attacks?
How do defenders best harness Gen AI and minimize the disruptive potential of Shadow AI?
What are the weakest areas of Gen AI governance, and how can they be turned into strengths?
