Fortifying Enterprise Defenses Against AI-Powered Threats

As AI systems based on large language models become more powerful and widespread, more cybersecurity challenges emerge. From jailbreaks to indirect prompt injections, they are vulnerable to a wide array of LLM-specific threats. However, all these problems can be boiled down to one single issue: LLMs are probabilistic algorithms that are inherently unreliable, just like any other ML system. Does it mean they cannot be useful? Absolutely not! In this talk, we will discuss the challenges of secure and reliable LLM-based applications and the way to make them safer and more aligned with your business goals.

Unreliable AI: Addressing the Cybersecurity Risks of LLM-Based System

Over the past decade, attribution has become both harder and less relevant. Tools and tactics are shared and stolen across attackers, blurring the lines between one adversary and the next. At the same time, the speed of attacks has increased, allowing defenders less and less time to use knowledge of the attackers to their advantage. And when planning their defenses, defenders can’t afford to tailor their approach according to what yesterday’s adversaries did last week.

Attribution matters, but to the average organization, it doesn’t matter nearly as much as resiliency.

Based on over two decades of cyber experience spent at places like Mandiant, CISA, and the White House, Rex will explain when the threat matters and when you’re better off focusing elsewhere.

By attending this live broadcast, you'll learn:

· The potential and limitations of threat-based intelligence to shape your defensive strategy

· Select use cases for the operationalization of threat intelligence

· Why focusing on foundational security elements is a better spend of your limited resources

The Primacy of Resiliency: Why (Most) Orgs Shouldn’t Focus on Threats

With the CrowdStrike incident impacting so many organizations, it is imperative to understand your organizations’ cyber incident response framework especially when you screen goes “blue”!

According to a snap poll conducted by Aon, 83% of risk professionals said their organisation had an incident response plan in place. But when CrowdStrike occurred, 24% said these plans underperformed. The entire poll of 500 risk professionals from across the UK and Europe revealed that 62% were directly or indirectly impacted by the global outage.

This presentation will focus on the 2025 to 2030 threatscape and considerations for an “joined-up” incident response framework that your organization should consider if it hasn’t already. 

Tune into this session presented by business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and major incident expert Steve Yates, as he shares tips to prepare for the 2025 threatscape. Yates will explore current operational cyber incident response areas, identified from more recent events such as dependency mapping, scenario planning and testing, and the core structure that your organization should have in place.  

By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Know the importance of dependency mapping, specifically for the “before”, and the challenges that will happen if not established for the “after.”
- Form an understanding of how scenario planning and testing can be become critical in the preparation for significant cyber disruptions and provide the need for resources and capacity capabilities. 
-  Understand the core organizational components needed for a cyber incident response framework.
