[1 CPE] ChatGPT Did NOT Write This Topic (or did it?)

  Presented by Brian Knopp, Principal Security Engineer • Arctic Wolf

Are “AI” and Machine Learning tools like ChatGPT having an impact on cybersecurity? This session will examine the top attacks looking back on 2022. We’ll define them by quantifiable impacts, like affected individuals, cost, and data breaches. We’ll also discuss key sociological and economic factors that increased vulnerabilities in 2022, identify industries that saw significant attacks, and summarize the top 5-6 data breaches and evaluate the impact of these threats on personnel retention and insurability, 2023 predictions, and the most common recommendations to improve your security posture.

[1 CPE] Why Smart Cities Are Safer Cities Thanks to Real-Time Data and AI

  Presented by iT1 Source & Wireless Guardian

Intelligent technology helps public safety organizations gain a holistic understanding of their cities, deepen public confidence and strengthen community connections. This session will explain the relationship the using Real-Time Data and Artificial Intelligence to create safer, more resilient communities. As part of the discussion, the presenter will explain the following:

  • Data and AI are helpful in real-time response
  • Data and AI are also reshaping long-term public safety processes
  • How smart safety technologies aid in environmental monitoring, emergency management and other situations
  • How smart technology pulls in signals from an array of sources across cities

The presenter will also stress public safety isn’t a top-down hierarchy. It’s actually a collective effort that prioritizes the needs of the community and depends on strong relationships. By realizing the future of public safety, smart city technology transforms the ability to serve local communities.

Putting AI to Work to Help Fight Cyberattacks

  Presented by Palo Alto

Hackers are increasingly automating their attacks, enabling them to exploit vulnerabilities more quickly. Cybersecurity software vendors are responding by turning to machine learning technology, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), to try to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. This presentation will talk about how machine learning is used to help identify variations of known threats and patterns in attacks in order to predict the next stages of an attack, then automatically create and implement protections for customers in near real-time.

Fighting Cybercrime with Artificial Intelligence

Presented by Fortinet

In this session you will learn how we are using modern A.I. and machine learning to assist in threat research. Additionally we’ll discuss the evolution of threat research/methodology and how global collaboration leads to enhanced protection for everyone.

Welcoming Our New Artificial Intelligence Overlords: AI Meets IT

  Presented by Nuvodia

We all knew this day would come. It’s time to start handing over some decision-making to the machines. We should have known once we started feeding them data that they would eventually insist on digesting it too! Let’s talk about how we got here, where the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in IT and security is today, and how long we think it’s going to be before the machines inevitably turn on us. Or maybe we’ll be fine? We’ll explore a number of AI-infused products that are on the market now, how effective they are, and why if your IT footprint doesn’t include AI today–well, it might be time to start thinking about an upgrade.

AI Comes of Age

  Presented by BlackBerry Cylance & target=”_blank”>Structured

Today, artificial intelligence seems to be everywhere and it’s still gaining momentum – especially in cybersecurity applications. International Data Corporation predicts organizations will invest $35.8 billion in AI systems in 2019, up 44% from the previous year. But it’s important to understand that not all machine learning algorithms or artificial intelligence solutions are created equally. What are the most prevalent challenges in and concerns of leveraging AI in securing corporate information? What are the questions to ask when evaluating an AI-based cybersecurity solution?

AI: Demystifying the Dark Arts to Combat Threats  

  Presented by Vanguard Infrastructures & HPE

To combat the latest threats, cyber security vendors have no choice but to use one of the most powerful tools to emerge in decades – Artificial Intelligence. But critics are right in their concerns over the interpretability of AI solutions. How do we learn to trust the magic black boxes when even the experts can’t explain the answers produced by AI? What is AI, and how is it different than data science and machine learning? What does it mean when a cyber-security solution is AI-enabled? What are the important things to know about the different AI implementations as they relate to cyber security products? How do I trust the output / results of AI? Join us as we provide an AI primer through the lens of cyber security and dissipate the cloudiness caused by buzzwords.

Leveraging AI to Defend Against Insider Threats in Your Digital Landscape

  Presented by Vanguard Infrastructures & HPE

The single largest vulnerability to a company’s intellectual property (IP) is their employee or the trusted insider; the person with the keys to the kingdom. However, recent media and government disclosures have expanded this threat to include machine compromises installed during manufacturing. So, the threat could come from the trusted insider or the machine an unwitting employee is utilizing. Too few companies have a strategy to adequately combat these vulnerabilities, mainly due to a lack of knowledge the events are taking place. Vanguard Infrastructures presents a strategy that marries observed human behaviors, demeanors, actions, etc., with artificial intelligence and machine learning to assist companies by providing data and creating visibility into network events that might be a threat to the company. This presentation’s goal is to put more power into the hands of the company to protect their IP, identify potential problem behaviors of trusted employees and machines, and assist the company in ensuring their future.

AI is Everywhere: The Impact of AI in Next-gen Communications Today and Beyond

  Presented by Adam Geffner • Principal Architect at Asurion and President at Avaya IAUG Nashville-TN Chapter

What is AI, what it’s NOT, and how is it making an impact today? Artificial
Intelligence is becoming more immersive in nearly every aspect of technology and
our lives, but it’s not what most expected it to become. Many anticipated we’d
have intelligent machines that could think for themselves near, on par or even rival
a human’s intelligence by now. We’re still not there yet, but nearly 65 years since
“Artificial Intelligence” was first coined, AI is bearing some significant fruit. It’s been
an explosive decade for AI, and it’s going to become more prevalent in nearly
everything we do going forward.

One huge area of growth for AI has been in the communications sector. Real-time
universal translators that can analyze your emotional mood, intelligent sensors and
new GPS systems powering autonomous cars with 5G ultra-efficient networks, and
AI assistants in nearly every home (who doesn’t have an Alexa or Siri to call their
own?). We’ll discuss the various sub-components that make up AI, how it’s being
applied in the contact center, powering next-gen 5G networks, the potential
dangers of AI when bias is introduced, and where AI is heading next in
communications and related space.
