Securing Financial Services 2024 (B) | AKJ Associates Ltd | 2 July 2024 | Park Plaza Victoria London, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Rd, Pimlico, London SW1V 1EQ, UK

This event will look at how AI may change cybersecurity and what firms should be doing now to stay secure. Join our real-life case studies and in-depth technical sessions from the security and privacy teams at some of the world’s most admired brands.

AI in threat intelligence and detection
• Automated threat detection systems powered by AI can identify suspicious behavior in real-time, allowing for swift response and mitigation.
• AI can help distinguish between relevant and irrelevant threats in the tsunami of threat data now available.
• What are the options for end-users and what questions should they be asking?

AI in network anomaly detection
• AI models can be trained and deployed to automatically analyze datasets, define “normal behavior”, and identify breaches in patterns quickly and effectively.
• These models can then be used to predict future anomalies to avoid additional breaches in data.
• These systems are already available – so how are they stacking up? Is AI working?

AI vs ransomware
• The fight against ransomware has been something of a losing battle.
• AI lowers the barrier to entry for hackers, automates and improves many attack processes and boosts attack volumes.
• What can AI deliver for defenders? Better malware identification? Better detection of lateral movement? What is the good news?

AI in the SOC: transforming a failing legacy model
• The problems faced by those working in security operations centres (SOCs) are well known.
• Too many false positives cause fatigue and burn-out and reduce the effectiveness of analysts who come to expect every alert to be false.
• How can AI transform SOCs into centres of accurate detection – and better places to work. What are your answers?

AI and third-party security
• There are many uses of AI in improving third-party security but not all are ‘glamorous’.
• AI can also automate traditionally manual tasks of collecting and auditing vendor risk assessments and security questionnaires to reduce operational costs and spot threats in the supply chain more quickly.
• So, can AI help across these types of tasks?

AI boosts XDR?
• AI is the key to automation: and automated triage, investigation, and remediation efforts at scale are key to good cybersecurity.
• But to get here firms need smarter AI/ML-driven XDR to help with sorting the signal from the noise on the network.
• Can AI-driven XDR deliver deep visibility across the entire attack surface and help with that SOC problem too?
