CSA DLT Security and Privacy Governance Team has taken the approach to build on existing frameworks rather than to try and duplicate their work, so our focus will continue to be on the unique characteristics of DLT solutions

DLT Security and Privacy Framework

It’s no surprise that LLM’s and AI are gradually being introduced into every product that we have been using over the course of the last few years. But what is the impact on identity? From being able to swiftly build powershell code to help enable organizational security groups, to creating automation and techniques from learning parameters, language models seem to have an endless curation of impacting security teams and technology they once knew. This panel aims to guide listeners from the current state of IAM, AI’s role in IAM currently, and how enhancements over time may help, or challenge the roles of security practitioners.

IAM in the Age of AI: Implications for Cloud

This panel discussion introduces one of CSA’s newest research initiatives,  Implementing Privacy by Design and Default (PbDD) within DevSecOps. Researchers discuss current findings, including their approach to successfully selling privacy internally. Using Design Thinking (DT) and Human-Centered Design (HCD) based methodologies, researchers discuss how they were able to identify what really matters to stakeholders—as well as key drivers that propelled the PbDD project under study forward.

Situated non-exclusively within the DevSecOps Six Pillars framework, the current research provides additional considerations to existing processes. Of note is the use of real-world Scenario-Based Design (or modeling) to further clarify the problem and solution spaces of implementation contexts, activating essential organizational dynamics where solution-based innovations may emerge.

The scenario? A global company diagnosing infectious diseases using a downloadable AI-assisted Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) with an opportunity—an exclusive government partnership and blank check. The feasibility challenge? Compliance with all global data protection and privacy regulations.

Escalating Privacy’s Privilege: Using Design Thinking to Identify What Matters

This session will provide an overview of the main provisions and novelties introduced by the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) and its relationship with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In particular, this session will provide an overview of the AI Act's overall structure and the field it aims to regulate. The session will also flag some possible overlaps (and potential tensions) with the GDPR and some situations where compliance with the AI Act may facilitate compliance with the GDPR (and vice versa). During this session, some thoughts will also be shared about the impact that this upcoming AI Act may have on Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and, in particular, on the extent to which the provisions of the AI Act may capture CSPs (and under what conditions) their activities.

Understanding the AI Act and its Relationship with GDPR:

The panel will discuss the current state of Zero Trust planning, implementation and industry references for public and private sector organizations in the US and internationally.
