ISSA: June Chapter Meeting: AI & Security
2023-06-20 14:30 - 17:00 | Metro State University (Founders Hall/ Auditorium), 387 Maria Avenue, Saint Paul, 55106
AI & Security

How are Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning rapidly changing the playing field when it comes to defending your organization from new threats? What should you do about it?
In March, you heard from experts on how to enhance your defenses by building a security-aware culture among the broader teams. As we continue forward on our ‘Defense in Development’ journey for 2023, we turn our focus to seemingly one of the fastest moving technology advancements ever, AI – and in particular – the fear, uncertainty and doubt syndrome permeating the industries.
Please join us on June 20th, for a most timely discussion, to unpack AI’s implications for IT security, and give you the latest ideas and tools to immediately apply and make more impact within your organization. We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker on this topic, Dr. Sean Costigan, who will present the relevant facts and discuss the key considerations for AI & Security, followed by a facilitator-led Q&A session with our featured guest and all meeting participants. Our community collectively has so much to offer when we leverage these opportunities to collaborate with one another across disciplines.
We will explore sub-topics such as the impact for DevOps writing code, hackers creating new threats and new attack vectors, the open-source community and commercial supply-chain, recent incidents in the news, and most importantly, what practitioners need to do and consider moving forward.
Appropriately, we will confront this topic in a higher education setting, at another one of our favorite venues, Metro State University, and encourage the brightest minds in our community to connect on a critical issue of our time.
