CyberEdBoard Talks –  Presented by Google Cloud

Harnessing the Human Factor of AI: Strengthening Cybersecurity through Human-AI Collaboration

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.

Managing Risk from Generative AI

In addition to discussing unique risks at each stage of the Gen AI lifecycle, we will provide targeted recommendations for managing these risks, including internal governance strategies and third-party management.

The Impact of GAI on InfoSec and IT Cybersecurity

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.

Networking and Exhibition Break

Randeep Gill

Principal Security Strategist, Exabeam

The Future of AI in Security

Increasing the autonomy of the SOC is a noble goal, especially for smaller organizations struggling to hire and retain the necessary cybersecurity skills. However, the need for self-learning and self-repairing capabilities in an autonomous SOC raises an important concern: If your IT and security system becomes self-referential and self-healing, how can you investigate to ensure it’s getting it right? Who watches the watchers?

This talk will explore:

  • The history of AI, ML, and automation already in your security stack
  • The dangers and challenges of unrestricted GPT and other chat bots as information sources
  • Ways humans and AI can work together

Ravi Patil

Director, Cybersecurity Product Management & Strategy, Broadcom

The GAI Impact on the Mainframe

In the face of this new security wilderness, these leaders must figure out how to govern and secure against risks created by new tools like generative AI, while still supporting innovation.

But mainframers and other platform leaders have traversed unfamiliar IT landscapes like this before—through governance, compliance, and processes. Now, they’re at a pivotal moment in this new exploration: facing the challenge of balancing both the risks and rewards of generative AI. Join Ravi Patil as he explores both sides of the coin as generative AI relates to the most vital enterprise data and applications: The ones on their mainframe.

VP, CISO, Zscaler

Master Class in GAI Discovery

What we do and how we do it are changing, and certain very specific domains like privacy, genetics, robotics, nanotechnology, physics, and even so-called soft sciences are poised to leap ahead. This heralds new opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurism and cybersecurity. In an AI-assisted cybersecurity digital world, the sky is truly the limit if you have the right mindset, flexibility and attitude. So, pay attention to the interesting things happening and hone your skills because cybersecurity is a superpower in this brave new world.
