Abstract

Whether it is network vulnerabilities, application security issues or OS level misconfigurations the sheer volume of findings is simply overwhelming to administrators. Prioritizing and remediating them is daunting task given the short number of security experts out there who can intrepret and mitigate them accurately.

On the other hand, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping the landscape of cybersecurity, particularly in the realms of vulnerability analysis and penetration testing.

This talk will explore the transformative impact of these technologies, highlighting their ability to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness in identifying and mitigating security risks.

Key highlights will include:

• AI-Powered Vulnerability Scanning: How AI algorithms can analyze vast datasets of vulnerabilities, code repositories, and configurations to identify potential weaknesses more accurately and efficiently than traditional methods.
• GenAI for Realistic Attack Simulations: The use of GenAI to generate realistic attack scenarios, payloads and test the resilience of security systems, helping organizations better understand and address potential threats.
• Ethical Considerations and Challenges: A discussion of the ethical implications of AI and GenAI in cybersecurity, including issues related to privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse.
• Future Outlook: Predictions for the future of vulnerability analysis and penetration testing, with a focus on the role of AI and GenAI in driving innovation and addressing emerging security challenges.
