Cybersecurity is a hot topic, and this week in London, a big event called Black Hat Europe is happening where experts will talk about the latest ways to keep our computers and information safe. They’ll be discussing everything from new problems with artificial intelligence (AI) to smarter ways to use AI to protect us.
One of the most interesting talks coming up will discuss something called “PromptWares”, where people can trick AI helpers like chatbots into doing things they’re not supposed to, such as giving out discounts by accident. There will also be a session on how to play tricks on big AI systems to get access to things they shouldn’t, like private information or even changing how a computer system works. While that sounds scary, the good news is they’ll also talk about how to stop these things from happening.
Besides these AI issues, there’s going to be a lot of talk about how AI can also be used for good in the world of cybersecurity. For example, the bank ING is using AI to help them find computer vulnerabilities faster, prevent secret information from leaking, and manage who has access to what within their systems. They’re going to share some handy tips with everyone on how companies can use AI to make their security teams’ jobs easier and more effective.
But it’s not just new stuff on the agenda. Some older technology, like the “Best Fit” feature in Windows and some standard ways devices talk to each other for security checks like RADIUS and DNSSec, will be looked at too. People will learn about hidden problems that could let bad guys bypass security controls and how to fix these issues before they cause trouble.
Finally, there’s some chatter about what might happen when quantum computers become a reality. They could potentially break the encryption that keeps our data safe today. But don’t worry, smart folks are already thinking of new, future-proof ways to keep things secret in a world where quantum computers exist.
It’s all super technical, but the bottom line is, these cybersecurity pros are on top of making sure our digital lives stay secure.
