Experts delve into the latest advancements in AI and incident response, drawing on insights from cyber law, security, and law enforcement.

The panel underscores the multifaceted role of AI in cybersecurity, touching on its applications in machine learning, generative AI, and the critical need for defense against emerging threats like deep fake videos and voice calls. While AI holds promise in automating threat identification and anomaly detection, it also introduces new challenges, such as the proliferation of sophisticated attacks and the need for robust defense mechanisms.

CISOs are urged to embrace AI for defense against bad actors while simultaneously navigating legal and security implications. Panelists emphasize the importance of integrating AI into compliance programs and ensuring data privacy and access controls. Moreover, the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding AI in incident response, including efforts by US regulators like the FTC and DHS, underscores the need for cohesive regulations and standardized testing standards to manage AI risks effectively.
