CISO Summit No 32: AI causes a radical change for securityand attackers: who profits more?

In cyber security, AI and LLM are applied to log data to detect indicators of compromise (IoC) and reduce IoC by prioritization to a digestible number: this saves a lot of work in the security operation centers. The detection includes relevant improvement in detecting zero-day exploits.

For cyber attackers, AI offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance their malicious activities. AI-driven tools can automate the discovery of vulnerabilities, craft sophisticated phishing attacks, and even evade traditional security measures by learning and adapting to defensive strategies. Processing vast amounts of data quickly allows attackers to identify and exploit weaknesses with greater precision and speed. This technological edge can make cyber-attacks more efficient, scalable, and more difficult to detect because of the enormous number of variations of attacks.

The first discussion round on “AI and Large Language Models: How to position the technologies and their use in cyber defense and offense?” will provide a deeper understanding of the topic and the associated technologies.

The second discussion round on “AI-based products with real-time threat detection, predictive analytics, and automated response mechanisms: Why to install it, and which attacks can and cannot be defended?” will explore how AI technology can be used for the future of cyber-security. Will AI tip the balance in favor of attackers, making cyber threats more pervasive and harder to combat? Or will defenders harness AI’s potential to create impenetrable defenses and outsmart their adversaries? This session aims to spark a lively discussion on the transformative impact of AI in cybersecurity, inviting you to share your perspectives and experiences as we collectively navigate this complex and evolving landscape.
With Andrei Kucharavy and Mark Barwinski, we have two excellent speakers who will guide us through the AI / LLM world, preparing us for a vivid discussion.

Finally, we are embedded into Swiss Cyber Storm, which is also dedicated to AI in cyber. Take advantage of the free entrance and inform yourself more broadly.
