Today's Cybersecurity Arsenal: 3 Methods to Effectively Protect Your Infrastructure Against the Rising Tide of Cyber Attacks

General Sessions

Organizations of all shapes and sizes are fighting battles against threat actors. As seen in recent years, cyber-attacks have become more sophisticated, making them harder to detect and mitigate.

Today, CISOs and organizations in general rely on two main methods to verify that their infrastructure, data, and IP are protected. The risk assessment these methods generate might satisfy compliance regulators, but they fail to accurately validate the organization's actual security posture, especially against emerging threats, multi-vector attacks, and APTs.

In this session, you’ll learn about a three-part purple teaming framework that helps you prepare for future bouts… especially when it comes to sophisticated, multi-vector attacks.

Opportunities & Risks for Industries - Generative AI Models

General Sessions

Generative AI models can perform tasks that traditionally require creativity and human understanding. They learn patterns from existing data during training and can subsequently generate new content, such as texts, images, and music, that follow these patterns. Due to their versatility and generally high-quality results, they, on the one hand, represent an opportunity for digitalization. On the other hand, the use of generative AI models introduces novel IT security risks that need to be considered for a comprehensive analysis of the threat landscape in relation to IT security. we will be diving into risk analysis, measures, and operational models by utilizing Gen AI.
