North American West Summit

AI Ethics in Action: Balancing Fraud Prevention with Privacy Rights

We will also tackle the potential for inherent biases within AI algorithms and their impact on fairness and equity. The discussion aims to provide CISOs with a framework for ethical AI deployment that upholds the integrity of their fraud prevention efforts.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Privacy vs. Prevention: Finding the balance between aggressive fraud detection and the safeguarding of personal data.
  • Bias in AI: Identifying and mitigating inherent biases in AI algorithms to ensure equitable fraud prevention practices.
  • Ethical AI Frameworks: Developing and implementing guidelines for ethical AI use in cybersecurity operations.
  • Transparency and Accountability: Ensuring AI systems in fraud detection are transparent and their decision-making processes are accountable.

AI Integration and Risk Management: Setting Security Standards for LLMs

This session will explore the security applications of these technologies while advocating for data security vigilance. Attention will be given to critical areas prone to risks, alongside actionable strategies to reduce such vulnerabilities.

Key areas of focus will include:

  • The implications for privacy, compliance, and intellectual property that arise from the inputs to and outputs from these tools.
  • The necessary scope of internal policies, procurement measures, and educational programs required for secure and effective utilization of these technologies.
  • The effectiveness of data classification and role management strategies, as opposed to reliance on Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls for moderating AI model prompts.
  • An examination of typical issues with these technologies, such as generating inaccurate information, vulnerabilities to prompt manipulation, and maintaining code integrity.
  • A delineation of security scenarios where these tools can be an asset to teams while also safeguarding against unwarranted risks.

North American West Summit

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

As CISO’s, understanding and effectively leveraging the human factor of AI is critical for a robust cybersecurity frameworks that address the complex challenges of today’s threat landscape.

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

Key themes to be covered during the session include:

  • Augmented Intelligence: Understanding the concept of augmented intelligence, where AI systems amplify human capabilities rather than replacing them
  • AI-Powered Threat Detection: Delving into the power of AI in threat detection and analysis, alongside the critical role of human cybersecurity professionals in validating AI-generated insights, detecting false positives and identifying novel threats.
  • AI for Insider Threat Mitigation: Examining how AI can be used to identify potential insider threats based on behavioral patterns, while emphasizing the need for human judgment to avoid false accusations and protect individual privacy.
  • AI Training and Skill Development: Strategies for upskilling cybersecurity teams to effectively collaborate with AI technologies, fostering a culture of continuous learning and adapting to the evolving AI landscape.
  • Combating AI-Driven Attacks: Analyzing the rise of AI-driven cyberattacks and how human intelligence can be harnessed to anticipate, respond to and mitigate sophisticated AI-enabled threats.

Solution Room Workshop

What is a Solution Room?

The Solution Room is a highly engaging and interactive conference session that aims to provide cybersecurity leaders with peer-to-peer support and subject matter expertise to tackle their most pressing challenges. Through a combination of small group discussions, expert moderators, and support from U.S. Secret Service Agents, attendees will work through the lifecycle of a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack.

What does participation in the Solution Room look like?

To enhance your learning experience, we invite you to join one of the ten tables for this collaborative session. Each table will be moderated by a knowledgeable CyberEdBoard member, and a U.S. Secret Service Agent will be present to provide valuable insights into law enforcement partnerships during a compromise. 

To kick off the session, Tom Field, Senior Vice President of Editorial at ISMG, will set the stage with a fictitious Business Email Compromise (BEC) scenario. Each group will receive identical sets of questions and work collaboratively to find the answers. As the exercise progresses, new information will be revealed, adding unexpected twists and turns to the scenario. Through this dynamic approach, participants will be challenged to apply critical thinking skills and work as a cohesive team to effectively respond to the evolving situation. Our goal is to provide a stimulating and engaging learning experience that equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to handle real-world BEC scenarios.

Navigating the Technical Landscape of AI: Empowering CISOs for Secure Implementation

These transformative technologies hold great potential for enhancing efficiency, automation and decision-making processes. But with the tremendous benefits they offer, AI and ML also bring about unique challenges and risks that demand the attention of chief information security officers.

This session is designed specifically for CISOs seeking to fortify their understanding of AI technologies and their implications on cybersecurity. Key topics covered during the session will include:

  • Fundamentals of AI and ML: Understanding the core principles and algorithms behind AI and ML technologies, which enable CISOs to grasp the underlying mechanics behind AI-driven applications.
  • AI in Cybersecurity: Exploring the current landscape of AI applications in the realm of cybersecurity, including threat detection, anomaly identification and risk assessment, along with insights into the potential for AI-driven attacks.

 

  • Adversarial AI and Mitigation Strategies: Analyzing the concept of adversarial AI, its potential to subvert AI systems, and best practices for safeguarding AI algorithms from malicious attacks.
  • Explainable AI: Unraveling the black box nature of AI algorithms and methods to enhance transparency and interpretability, which are essential for building trust and gaining organizational buy-in.
  • AI Governance and Risk Management: Highlighting the significance of comprehensive AI governance frameworks and risk management strategies to mitigate potential AI-related risks effectively.
  • Collaborating With AI Teams: Strategies for fostering collaboration between CISOs and AI development teams, which facilitates a cohesive approach to security in AI projects.

Fireside Chat: CIO and CISO: Collaborate to Defend

As organizations undergo more digital transformation, there is a greater focus on digitalizing processes and improving customer experiences. Consequently, the roles of CIOs and CISOs are evolving to new archetypes such as business enabler, digital enabler and value enabler.  

Partnerships with the CIO and other business heads are imperative to drive business goals. The CIO and CISO are now partners in a mission to drive business enablement and to defend the organization from threats.

In this fireside chat, the participants will discuss:  

  • Evolving roles and business-facing responsibilities;  

  • Supporting other business heads;  

  • Cybersecurity – from a cost center to business enabler.
