The International Conference on Cyber Security at Fordham University highlighted the increasing use of AI for enterprise defense against adversaries. While CISOs acknowledge the importance of AI, they are also prioritizing supply chain security, authentication technologies, and addressing the implications of global conflicts on critical infrastructure. CISOs believe AI provides an advantage for defenders over attackers.
Key Takeaways from the Meeting Notes:
– CISOs are not solely focused on AI for enterprise defense, with other priorities including supply chain security, audience protection, and understanding global conflicts’ implications on critical infrastructure.
– Authentication is a priority for CISOs, with an emphasis on encouraging the adoption of stronger forms of authentication to mitigate various threats.
– CISOs anticipate embracing AI more in 2024, recognizing its growing importance in the cybersecurity landscape.
– While threat actors use AI to enhance their attack capabilities, CISOs believe AI provides a significant advantage to enterprise defenders in outpacing attackers.
– AI is seen as a valuable tool for managing vulnerabilities, detecting threats faster, and mitigating risks, while not replacing human involvement in threat detection and remediation processes.
Overall, the CISOs recognize the potential of AI in cybersecurity, emphasizing its role in empowering defenders and addressing various challenges effectively.
