SPEAKING TOPIC: Disrupting the Game: How GenAI is Transforming Cybersecurity
Following the success of this year's SECtember event in September, CSA hosted an AI Think Tank with leading experts and stakeholders in AI. This gathering aimed to demystify GenerativeAI models and explore its impact on the evolving landscape of IT, cloud, and AI technologies.
In this talk, John highlights the resulting discussions from the Think Tank and the profound implications of GenAI in cybersecurity. Drawing on insights from the discussions held during the Think Tank, this talk will encompass key takeaways from the event while establishing four new CSA research working groups in AI:
- Security and Safety Controls
- Technology and Risks
- Governance and Compliance
- Organizational Responsibilities
John will provide an informative overview of GenAI, highlighting its transformative potential in enhancing security measures, and the strategic objectives of the new CSA initiatives in the field of AI. Join us for an enlightening discussion on the intersection of GenAI and cybersecurity as we navigate the path to a more secure digital future.
