CERIAS Security Seminar: AI's Security Maze: Navigating AI's Top Cybersecurity Risks Through Strategic Planning and Resilient Operations
Description
Speaker:
David Haddad
Purdue University
Abstract:
Students: this is a hybrid event. You are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. Location: STEW G52 (Suite 050B) WL Campus.
The rapid commercialization of GenAI products and services has significantly broadened the landscape of potential attack vectors targeting enterprise infrastructure, operations, and processes. This evolution poses substantial risks to enterprise assets and operations, requiring continuous risk, attack, and threat surface analysis. This exploratory study delineates critical findings across three key dimensions:
- An analysis of current market trends related to AI-driven cyber and information security risks;
- An overview of emerging regulatory requirements and compliance efforts specific to AI technologies and;
- Strategic initiatives for identifying and mitigating these risks, informed by insights from both industry and academia.
The presentation provides a roadmap for technology practitioners navigating the complex intersection of AI innovation and cybersecurity.
