Navigating the New Frontier of AI Risk: A CTO Perspective

Pratima Singh, Security Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS, moderates a panel discussion on securing the next frontier of AI risk, featuring industry leaders Fabio Fratucello (Field CTO, World Wide at CrowdStrike), Antonie Falcoe ( APJ CTO at Zscaler), and Brett Winterford (Regional CISO at Okta). The panel discusses the emerging risks associated with generative AI from both an adversary and operational perspective. Fabio highlights two primary risks: social engineering and vulnerability exposure. He explains how generative AI has made attacks more effective by enabling faster creation of sophisticated phishing and impersonation campaigns. The ability of adversaries to scale their operations is also amplified, with AI helping them discover vulnerabilities and craft more targeted attacks, particularly against identities. Fabio emphasises the need for faster detection and response, as well as improved telemetry management to identify threats early.
