Infosecurity Europe, running at ExCeL London from 4-6 June 2024, is set to cover the impact of generative AI on the cybersecurity industry by generative AI and deepfake expert Henry Ajder.
Ajder, a globally recognised advisor, speaker, and broadcaster will give a presentation at Infosecurity Europe on the impact on the cybersecurity industry.
Working at the frontier of generative AI and the synthetic media revolution, Ajder has led pioneering research to influence international legislation and corporate AI strategy.
He provides guidance to organisations regarding the potential and obstacles posed by revolutionary technologies, offering counsel to prominent entities such as Adobe, Meta, The European Commission, BBC, The Partnership on AI, and The House of Lords.
Addressing the sensationalism and speculation within the cybersecurity industry
On the keynote stage, Henry Ajder will then be joined by Tope Olufon, Senior Analyst, Forrester, in a fireside chat session, ‘Wading through AI overload – where are we going and what are you doing?’ that will address the sensationalism and speculation within the industry.
The session will discuss where the business needs lie for AI, how AI is being adopted, and how to ensure AI-generated information is trustworthy.
“I’m very much looking forward to sharing insights with leading cybersecurity professionals on the fast-evolving deepfakes and GenAI landscape, helping them to understand the potential opportunities and challenges that arise with the integration of AI into cyber,” said Ajder.
“AI’s role is no longer theoretical or a small segment, but a critical part of the threat and defence innovation landscape. Learning how to navigate the GenAI paradigm shift is essential to excelling in the cybersecurity industry both now and for an increasing AI centred future.”
Launch on the 2024 Cybersecurity Trends report
The news comes as Infosecurity Europe announces the launch of its 2024 Cybersecurity Trends report, which uncovered findings into the current use of AI within organisations, expectations for future use, and the risks that it presents.
The research found that 50% of surveyed IT security decision-makers believe that AI will lead to more cyber attacks. Generative AI, ransomware, and social engineering were found to worry CISOs the most, with over a third of survey respondents saying these issues were increasing cybersecurity investment.
Despite this, 54% of participants stated that they would integrate AI as part of their cybersecurity strategy in the next 12 months.
Generative AI has the potential to bridge the skills gap in cybersecurity, with 42% agreeing that the technology would result in faster training, wider awareness, and better education.
Nicole Mills Exhibition Director at Infosecurity Group, concluded: “AI is completely transforming the way we do things in the workplace, but cybercriminals are also taking advantage of this evolving tech.
“Our survey highlights the AI risks to business, but it’s great to see so many looking to integrate AI into their cybersecurity strategies over the coming year.
“Henry’s insight into the challenges, the business needs, and the integrity of AI, will provide the perfect stepping stones for those amongst us that are tasked with AI implementation within their organisation.”
