Craig Balding - Threat Prompt: AI Security
This presentation was held at #Hacktivity2023 IT security conference on 6th October 2023.
AI is ushering in a new era of sophisticated cyber attack and defence. In this session, we will explore AI from a hacker’s perspective.
The first half is about the security of AI and starts with a fast-paced introduction to AI tech. Building on this foundation, we survey the major AI vulnerability classes, attacks and defences, supported by examples. This section concludes with AI policy recommendations help you influence debate on AI within your organisation.
The second half is about applying AI to cyber attack and defence. Demos will cover practical use cases and include prompts and patterns for penetration testers, developers, cloud security engineers, incident responders and policy writers.
Some say AI is the next existential threat since nuclear, yet so few risk and security professionals are applying their talent to make it safe. My talk proposal is to increase engagement by our community in the AI domain. The pace of AI development is far outstripping our understanding of the risks and countermeasures.
This is not cloud computing where we can show up late – we need to be in the arena sooner rather than later.
