Driving cyber-security with AI

How artificial intelligence can enhance information security and defend against AI-powered cyber threats

 

Keeping any organisation cyber-secure is getting ever-harder due to the progressive fragmentation and increasing complexity of IT systems, including cyber-security systems. And the problem is getting even worse with the use of AI by cyber-criminals.

Ultimately the only way of keeping up with hackers who use AI is to use AI back against them. Organisations can only keep themselves secure from adversarial AI by using AI to detect threats and defend against them in real time, before they can attack enterprise networks and data. 

AI can power up threat intelligence tools and improve threat visibility; for example, it is effective at detecting and mitigating polymorphic threats. Predictive analytics driven by AI enable actions to be taken to address vulnerabilities before breaches happen.

And when breaches do happen, AI still has a vital role to play. Responses can be automated, faster and more accurately than by humans. Policies can be imposed and monitored. 

In a fast-changing world the adaptive learning capabilities of AI cyber defences are a critical advantage. However, AI-powered defences need to be practical to use. Human control must be intuitive. Defence systems must be easy to integrate. AI must be adaptable over time, as threats change, and as organisational requirements scale up and down.

In addition, there is a need to keep the AI security system secure. Visibility, control and protection should be designed into any AI system, including defences against adversarial tactics such as prompt injection attacks and data poisoning.

Join us to network with your peers and gain practical insights into strategies for AI-powered cyber security by Palo Alto Networks. This is an exclusive event and seat numbers are very limited, so apply for your place now.

The questions we will explore

During the meeting we will focus on topics such as:

•    Why is the use of AI by criminals a threat to organisations? What are common AI-powered threats and how do these over-come traditional cyber-security defenses?
•    How can AI be used to defend against cyber-threats including AI-powered threats?
•    What data is needed to build effective AI-driven security? How should this data be managed and protected?
•    What are the main cyber security threats to AI-powered systems? How can AI be made secure by design?
•    When AI is used to defend organisations, how should it be governed and managed? What are the threats to organisations from using AI and how can these be mitigated?
