RSA Conference 2024 is almost upon us again, so we reached out to a handful of Netskope experts and asked what they hope or expect to hear about at this year’s show. Here’s what they’ve got on their mind (spoiler alert – there’s a lot of genAI):
“GenAI is still top of mind for most security professionals so I think my RSA session on genAI governance is at the heart of what the audience is looking for. The other topic I expect to hear is ways of managing security in tight economic times. I’m still hearing from CISO’s that their budgets have been restricted so I think that is going to be another strong topic.” James Christiansen, CSO
“For me, it will be adversarial AI, looking at both the malicious capabilities and how we protect against them. There has been a lot of talk around how to safely enable genAI, but this is mainly focussed on ingress and egress data leakage protection and AI infringement which has been the immediate need. But with the mass adoption of AI with LLMs, like all software, we need to think about how we protect ourselves from adversarial attacks which will be specific to AI and different to traditional application security approaches, such as protecting against model extraction, model leeching, model skewing, model poisoning attacks, etc.” David Fairman, CIO APAC
“I expect to hear a lot about AI from both ends of the spectrum: How vendors are using AI to help improve cybersecurity defenses and how attackers are using AI offensively. I’m looking forward to hearing about novel approaches to applying AI to solve cybersecurity challenges.” Ray Canzanese, Head of Netskope Threat Labs
“I am excited to delve into the integration of generative AI and quantum technologies within the cybersecurity field. This powerful combination holds immense potential for addr
