AI-Powered Incident Response: Automation, Summaries, Containment, Mitigation
SESSION 4
Incident response is a crucial process for ensuring the resilience and continuity of critical infrastructure systems, such as energy, transportation, and communication. However, traditional incident response methods often rely on manual analysis, lengthy reports, and reactive measures that can be slow, costly, and ineffective. In this session, you will learn how generative AI can transform incident response for critical infrastructure security by enabling automation, summaries, containment, and mitigation. You will see how AI can help you:
Automate the detection and classification of incidents, reducing the time and effort required to identify and prioritize threats.
Generate concise and relevant summaries of incident data, such as logs, alerts, and tickets, to provide actionable insights and recommendations.
Contain and isolate incidents, preventing them from spreading or escalating, by applying intelligent rules and policies.
Mitigate and remediate incidents, restoring normal operations and minimizing damage, by generating and executing optimal solutions.
You will also hear from a panel of industry experts who have helped customers successfully implement AI-powered incident response solutions for their critical infrastructure systems. Join us to discover how you can leverage generative AI to enhance your incident response capabilities and protect your critical infrastructure from current and future threats.
Generative AI and Security: Challenges and Opportunities for Financial Services
SESSION 5
A guest panel discussion featuring experts from banking, insurance, and capital markets.
Generative AI is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to transform the way financial services operate and deliver value to their customers. It can create realistic and diverse data, content, and scenarios that can enhance decision making, risk management, customer experience, and innovation. However, generative AI also poses significant security and ethical challenges, such as data privacy, authenticity, accountability, and fairness.
In this session, you will hear from a panel of experts from banking, insurance, and capital markets who will share their insights and experiences on how generative AI can be leveraged for positive impact and how to address the security and ethical implications. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the panelists.
The session will cover topics such as:
How generative AI can improve financial services in areas such as fraud detection, credit scoring, customer segmentation, and product development.
What are the main security and ethical risks and challenges of generative AI and how to mitigate them.
What are the best practices and frameworks for developing and deploying generative AI solutions in a responsible and trustworthy manner.
What are the future trends and opportunities for generative AI in financial services.
Talk to Me, Goose! Using Microsoft Copilot for Security to Investigate an Attack
TRACK 1
Generative AI is one of the most significant advances in how we interact with computers in our generation. It allows users to directly ask questions to their applications without having to learn complex query languages or scripting.
Microsoft Copilot for Security builds on these capabilities by empowering SOC teams and system administrators to perform common security tasks using easy-to-understand language.
In this session, we'll introduce you to Microsoft Copilot for Security and explain some of its core features. Then we'll walk you through how it works in the context of a multi-stage attack to show you how Copilot for Security can shave minutes or even hours off your incident investigations, giving you the advantage over the bad guys.
You will also have the opportunity to view a demo of the new Copilot + PC in action.
To wrap things up, you'll learn how MDSNY, one of the few partners globally who has been working with Copilot for Security since its inception, can help you get started with this game-changing tool.
Generative AI for Government Security
TRACK 2
National Security and AI: 4th Industrial Revolution
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every aspect of our lives, and governments are increasingly using AI for national security purposes. While AI offers tremendous potential for defense, intelligence gathering, and threat detection, it also introduces new security risks. We will examine both sides of the coin: Security to safeguard AI, as well as AI in the context of cybersecurity defense and offense.
Federal Cyber Data Lakes: Memorandum: M-21-31
Join us for a session on how the Federal Cyber Data Lake (FCDL) can help you handle signals from various sources and types of security data. You will learn how FCDL can store and process raw and derived data in a scalable and adaptable way, and how it can help you meet the National Security Memorandum M-21-31 for critical infrastructure. You will also learn how to fortify your security AI environment with an integrated approach across identity, endpoints, and cloud applications.
Copilot for Government Security: Readiness and Adoption
Learn how Microsoft Copilot for Security is designed to work seamlessly with the systems and tools used by modern governments, specifically the security operations center (SOC) for managing security on an organizational and technical level, and the security information and event management (SIEM) solution for detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats.
Business Outcomes and Connected Use Cases: Federal (DOE) and State & Local
Integrating security measures with desired business outcomes allows companies to have their security investments significantly impact their overarching achievements. The synchronization of security initiatives with business results embeds it deeply into the corporate strategy. This session will concentrate on methods for government entities to link applicable scenarios with key security business outcomes, such as securing a resilient future, enhancing teamwork, fostering innovation and autonomy, adopting a zero trust approach, and leveraging signal intelligence.
