ISSA-LA Security Summit 2024

Behind the Headlines: Understanding the AI and ML Attack Landscape

Reading security news about AI can feel a little like the sky is falling; every day seems to bring some new attack. This talk provides an overview of how AI and ML work and then maps the current attack landscape to the MITRE ATLAS and OWASP LLM Top Ten. We walk through risks that have been exploited in the wild and explain why they work. With this information, defenders will understand where and how attacks can and have occurred and the effective ways organizations can protect against them.

 Democracy is in decline for the 18th consecutive year, and many experts consider the United States a democracy at risk. As a mother, I have also considered what elections might look like when my children vote for the first time in 2028. We strive for free and fair elections but our foreign enemies want to disrupt and derail those processes, flooding our networks and media with attacks.

This apolitical presentation explores the various dimensions of cyber threats targeting elections, focusing on disinformation campaigns, ransomware attacks, and the rise of political extremism and violence. You will be empowered to protect democratic processes in an increasingly digital age and navigate a messy political information landscape.

Corporate culture in America is fraught with the stifling of creativity. The fear of failure is preventing many from reaching their full potential. It is time for all of us to embrace stretching the envelope and getting uncomfortable. We all have so much to offer, that will lead to innovation and better ways to solve problems, if only our culture would stop judging and beating down good ideas that just happen to fail. We will learn more from failure than success, and until we can get past that fear of failure, we will never realize our full potentials.
