The topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been dominating most cybersecurity conferences lately, but with few opportunities for hands-on, actionable learning. The SANS AI Summit aims to change that. The Summit will feature interactive workshops and live demonstrations, offering practical approaches to incorporating AI and Machine Learning (ML) into your daily cybersecurity tasks, making them more efficient, accurate, and effective. You'll leave with real-world skills and techniques you can immediately apply in your work.
Day 1 | Monday, March 31: Applying AI in Cybersecurity
On Day 1, you will learn how to use AI in your cybersecurity work today through focused talks and workshops on applying AI and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to enhance cybersecurity-related job roles. Talks and workshops will cover genAI or ML enhanced Incident Response, Cyber Defense, Cloud Security, and Vulnerability Assessment and Exploitation techniques.
*Workshops are available for In-Person attendees only
Day 2 | Tuesday, April 1: Defending and Attacking AI Implementations
On Day 2, you will learn how to defend and attack AI implementations in organizations. We will delve into the intricacies of exploiting and defending against the vulnerabilities of LLMs and genAI solutions. Specifically, we will explore the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by attackers to compromise LLMs and genAI models and the countermeasures and defensive strategies organizations can employ to mitigate these risks with presentations and panels.
You will gain useful insights, strategies, practical solutions, and use cases that will help you to enhance your understanding and skills to keep up with this fast-changing technological landscape.
