Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy. Applications and devices equipped with AI can see and identify objects, understand, and respond to human language, learn from new information and experience. AI-based applications (a classic example being a self-driving car) can make detailed recommendations to users and experts and act independently, replacing the need for human intelligence or intervention.

Recognizing the importance of technical standards in shaping development and use of AI, the U.S. President’s October 2023 Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (EO 14110) calls for “a coordinated effort… to drive the development and implementation of AI-related consensus standards, cooperation and coordination, and information sharing” internationally.

This PLUS Course focuses on how the development of AI capabilities, technologies, and tools impact cybersecurity. Instructor Larry Wilson breaks down the course into four digestible lessons:

Lesson 1: What Is Artificial Intelligence: Includes an overview of Artificial Intelligence, how AI is used today (case studies), the current / future state of international AI standards.

Lesson 2: AI Security Threats: How threat actors are using AI to automate stages of the attack lifecycle, including reconnaissance, evasion, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and exploitation.

Lesson 3: AI Security Standards: (1) Secure Design – risks and threat modelling; (2) Secure Development – supply chain security, documentation, asset and technical debt management; (3) Secure Deployment – protecting infrastructure from compromise, threat or loss, incident management, and responsible release; and (4) Secure Operation and Maintenance – logging and monitoring, update management and information sharing.

Lesson 4: AI Risk Management Playbook: (1) Govern – policies, processes, procedures and practices across the organization related to the mapping, measuring and managing of AI risks are in place, transparent, and implemented effectively; (2) Map – context is measured and understood; (3) Measure – appropriate methods and metrics are identified and applied; (4) Manage – AI risks based on assessments and other analytical output from the Map and Measure functions are prioritized, responded to, and managed; (5) Roadmap – key activities for advancing the NIST Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework.

Upon completion of the class, attendees will have an up-to-date understanding of AI and its impact on cybersecurity. They will learn what actions organizations should take to benefit from the many advancements available with adopting AI into their security design, development, deployment, operations, and maintenance.

When HR and security teams understand their respective roles, value each other, and have an open, productive partnership, life is good. They can help each other be more effective and complement each other’s functions. Unfortunately, that symbiotic state can be hard to achieve. For security teams, HR folks can be hard to understand. Sometimes they seem like a great advocate for security, and at other times they can seem more like a blocker of our efforts to better secure the organization.

For HR professionals, dealing with the security team can be a challenge. For example, the security team might send out an emotionally-triggering simulated phish to everyone in the organization, causing numerous employee complaints that HR has to manage. So what can you do if you don’t have the best relationship with the HR team?

This talk, based on years of experience navigating the relationship between HR and security teams, will cover the issues that cause the biggest disconnects between HR and security. We’ll look at the issues from both sides and cover proposed solutions for each. Improving the relationships for both departments can lead to happier HR and security professionals who are more effective in their roles, and a company that’s better protected and prepared against cyber threats.

A new era of government criminal prosecution of C-suite executives began in 2022. That year, Uber’s former Chief Security Officer was convicted of criminal obstruction of justice for failing to disclose a breach to the FTC during an ongoing investigation. In 2023, the SEC brought criminal charges against SolarWinds’ CISO for fraud and internal control failures for allegedly misleading investors about the company’s cybersecurity practices. In July 2024, a federal judge tossed most, but not all, of the SEC’s charges against SolarWinds and its CISO. This session discusses the prosecutions of the Uber and SolarWinds CISOs and examines the contours of CISO personal liability following those landmark (and likely more to come) prosecutions.

Phishing is one of the leading cyberattacks worldwide, resulting in numerous social engineering training exercises to train average users to defend against these attacks. This discussion focuses on research that took a pool of users with three different phishing campaigns. Each campaign progressively has a phish that should be more advanced to spot than the previous phish presented. The research shows the psychological reasoning behind why a user will interact with a phish, regardless of educational awareness. Results include why a 0% or 100% report rate is unrealistic and how to use phishing metrics to quantify risk in a business.

In today’s dynamic cyber risk landscape, risk managers must stay informed and adapt their strategies accordingly. Recent global cyber events have had a profound impact on critical functions across multiple sectors, underscoring the gravity of cyber events. Risk managers also face complexities from trends like reliance on third parties and evolving data protection laws.

To successfully navigate these challenges, risk managers are tasked with learning from significant cyber events, implementing best practices for managing third-party cyber risk, and staying updated on privacy regulations. This session assists risk managers in effectively mitigating cyber risks and safeguarding their organizations by discussing strategies for managing third-party cyber risk and providing updates on privacy regulations.
