Beyond the Buzz: Data Security Controls for the AI Era

The rapid adoption of AI is introducing serious new risks and vulnerabilities that will not be caught and/or remedied by traditional risk management approaches. This presentation will highlight a number of those new risk and vulnerability areas, and discuss the prudent ways that we might go about performing a better risk assessment process, so as to develop contingency plans for the inevitable failures and damages sustained as a result of this very rapid adoption process. A sample of recent legal cases related to these new risks and vulnerabilities will be covered, with an emphasis on what can be done, so as to prevent similar problems at the viewer's organization.

Safety Nets for Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Failures

The work never ends. Every year, we onboard more third parties. And every year, our assessment workload gets worse. More resources to help? Not going to happen. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. We have been at this process for years, but it continues to get worse for your team and the people in your company that rely on your third parties.

It doesn't have to be that way. It's time the flip the script and cut back on assessment questionnaires.
Join us for a live webcast on March 26th at 1PM ET and learn how the newest risk exchange models are eliminating 80% of questionnaire requests with data.

Our team of experts will outline how to:
• Instantly perform inherent risk analysis on your entire vendor portfolio
• Incorporate real-time risk  data into your process to reduce  questionnaire requests
• Map your questionnaire and controls to industry-standard  frameworks or threat profiles to get the information you need with fewer questions
• Access  assessment data on large, hard-to-assess third parties that don't respond to you
• Monitor 100% of your portfolio -- not just your critical vendors

TPRM doesn't have to be the most painful process in your company. Join us and start your program's evolution.

Get Off the Assessment Treadmill. Take a Data-First, Questionnaire-Second Approach to TPRM

Existing risk management policies, and the related business processes, which may have been appropriate for the traditional information technology environment, will not be workable in the AI environment. In this presentation, we’ll discuss what’s markedly different between the traditional information technology risk management environment, and the new AI risk management environment. For example, there is a risk of model stealing with publicly facing AI systems, but no such risk is found in traditional publicly facing systems. Likewise, the result provided by a certain query submitted to a Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) system may not be the same from day to day, but no such phenomenon is present with traditional information systems. Similarly, the great power of AI systems can be used to overcome traditional privacy-protection mechanisms such as anonymization, and this has not been previously encountered with traditional information systems. Also covered in this presentation will be suggested managerial and technical responses to these differences, such as an AI Acceptable Use Policy and an AI Life Cycle Process. Some recent legal developments in the AI risk management area will also be briefly covered.

Why AI Needs Its Own Risk Management Policies and Processes

GDPR became one of the first forcing functions to get teams to implement baseline engineering policies within their organization(s), but we continue to see organizations paying fines. Validating external claims made by organizations and helping to evolve policies requires a robust cultural shift. In this talk we'll discuss examples of privacy policy converted to engineering verification scenarios to help engineers or privacy champions embed privacy policy verification(s) within product cycles so policies stay current.

Privacy for the People by the People

Kick-off (or refresh) your mentorship journey with the ISSA Mentorship Program, designed for cybersecurity professionals looking to grow and connect in meaningful ways. Pete Schramm will share how an agile approach to mentorship can help you plan your career, build a Personal Board of Advisors (multiple mentors), and strengthen relationships beyond "just work." Learn what it truly means to be an effective mentor or mentee, how to use career mapping to guide your conversations, and how strong connections within your organization can reduce internal threats by fostering trust and collaboration. Invest in your career and community—this is mentorship redefined for cybersecurity professionals!

Creating & Managing an Effective Mentorship Program, Methods & Best Practices to Consider

This presentation will discuss how to ensure your company has AI policies and plans in place based on industry best practices and applicable regulations.  It will take into consideration the developing frameworks and other quickly evolving regulations. We will discuss the prioritization of ethical and legal use in AI software as well as how to work with relevant stakeholders to understand business considerations and risks.  We will also show how AI can present real opportunities for cybersecurity and why you shouldn’t be afraid to implement it.

A CISO Guide to AI and Privacy

Privacy and security are distinct yet equally important disciplines, each addressing unique challenges. This session will provide a brief overview of what privacy is, its key differences from security, and why these teams must work together. Through practical insights, you’ll learn how collaboration can strengthen compliance, reduce risks, and build trust across your organization.

Privacy & Security: Different But Equal and Why They Need to Work Together

According to recent research, a staggering 60% of breaches happen because of vulnerabilities that go unpatched—even when a fix is available. As the volume of vulnerabilities increases, capacity to address them hasn’t kept up, security teams are often overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. To address this gap, we need a better way to evaluate and prioritize vulnerabilities and the risks they pose to our organizations.
In this webinar, Justin Scarpaci, Technical Strategist at Sevco Security, will provide a framework for assessing risk to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities for the most effective remediation. In this webinar, he’ll discuss:
  ● Why the first step is to understand where your security tools are – and aren’t – deployed
  ● The limitations around existing vulnerability scoring systems like CVSS
  ● How to better assess likelihood of exploit alongside org-specific intelligence like business impact provides a more complete risk assessment
  ● What signals can be used to determine vulnerability likelihood and business impact
Attendees will leave with practical approaches to apply within their organizations.

Power utilities use a variety of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to manage their operations which are structured into six independent but interconnected zones: Power Generation, High Voltage (HV) Transmission System Operation (TSO), Medium Voltage (MV) Distribution System operation (DSO), MV Distributed Generation, Low Voltage (LV) power delivery and LV Distributed Generation. Each of these zones includes electrical and mechanical assets, process controllers and communications, which perform local control within their zone and communicate with other zones. The power grid structure described here is in line with the deployment of the Smart Grid architecture, which also includes MV and LV distributed generation, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Cyber-Secured Power Utility Operation

Early talent or someone looking for a career in Cybersecurity needs to know where to start and how to prepare themselves to get their initial breakthrough. On the contrary, we also need enterprise organizations to have an open mindset to take risks or even allocate time to hire someone without any job experience and make time to provide the expertise on the job to get diverse ideas and talent into their teams.

In this session we will discuss how NextGen provides a platform for candidates to be trained and help identify opportunities for internship, apprenticeship or full time job opportunities with the enterprise organization.
