Overview (Program Summary)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed and will continue to change how cybersecurity and privacy professionals protect their institutions’ secret, confidential, and private information. Increasingly, institutions defending their data against the most sophisticated, coordinated, and persistent cyberattacks are relying on AI-driven solutions. This panel will discuss how AI will likely influence the reasonableness standard in courts of law that must determine whether a litigant accused of negligent cybersecurity or data privacy management practices had reasonable safeguards in place when its systems were compromised, and its most sensitive data was stolen. How nation-state level cyber-attackers engaging in cyber-espionage use AI to attack and how public and private institutions use AI to defend will also be a topic of discussion. Finally, the panel will address how the rapid rise of remote work or telework has created new cybersecurity and privacy risks that AI is especially well-suited to help institutions mitigate. Join us to hear experienced public and private sector cybersecurity and privacy experts discuss the impact of AI on these evolving challenges.
