Topic: Ethical and Secure AI: Governance in AI-Driven Cybersecurity
Abstract:
The rise of AI-driven technology has rapidly transformed business operations and the digital landscape, and cybersecurity is no exception to its influence. Businesses and security teams increasingly depend on AI-driven solutions to detect, prevent, and respond to diverse cyber threats. However, just as businesses use AI to strengthen defenses, threat actors are also leveraging AI-enabled malware and attack vectors to enhance the complexity and effectiveness of their attacks. Though security teams are utilizing AI-enabled solutions to counter AI-driven threats, the expanding influence of AI highlights the need for ethical governance to ensure these systems are secure, fair, and transparent. This webinar explores the intersection of AI, ethics, and cybersecurity, focusing on governance for AI use in security operations. Additionally, participants will learn about the importance of managing and regulating risks associated with AI-driven decision-making for information security.
