Join us for a pivotal event addressing the pressing issue of Cloud Ecosystem security in the wake of recent alarming cyber breaches on government IT infrastructure. Perpetrated by state actors, these breaches have exposed critical cyber resilience deficiencies, particularly in certification processes and managing known vulnerabilities. This gathering provides a vital platform for US Government leadership and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to collaboratively develop a unified response strategy.

Driven by a collaborative initiative of independent experts, this event aims to align efforts and forge a resilient path forward. In response to rising cybersecurity needs, these experts serve as catalysts, ensuring that the nation's critical digital infrastructure remains secure against relentless cyber threats. Don't miss the opportunity to contribute to the development of a unified response and secure the future of our digital landscape.

While AI has been in use for decades, it has recently moved to the forefront of a national conversation. Two recent documents – the  White House Executive Order on “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence” and the Department of Defense “Data, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence Adoption Strategy” highlight the growing importance that AI is playing in national security.
 
In this webinar, the ATARC Insider Risk Working Group will explore the use of AI in support of insider risk programs in Government, Industry, and Academia. Panel members will discuss the emergence of AI as a critical tool that has the power to enable and modernize insider risk programs.  The panel will also discuss communicating AI, how to ensure programs do not become overly reliant on its use, and the guard rails necessary to control the use of AI in insider risk programs. The webinar will also explore several other AI-related topics ranging from the use of data, contextualizing products generated from AI, and reducing potential negative consequences of AI. This is the first of a multi-part webinar focused on AI in insider risk programs.
