Validating AI Value, Securing Supply Chains, Fake Account Creation (feat. Cytix, Risk Ledger) Cybersecurity Sessions

Netacea CISO Andrew Ash welcomes two special guests to the podcast this month to talk about AI adoption and managing third party risk: Thomas Ballin (CTO, Cytix) and Haydn Brooks (CEO, Risk Ledger).
In 2023 the AI genie is well and truly out of the bottle, gaining mainstream attention and usage across business, academia and in day-to-day life. As a result, AI has become somewhat of a buzzword used to sell solutions or make products appear smart and modern. As mutual advocates of AI to solve problems more efficiently for clients, Andrew and Thomas weigh in on how to define “real AI”, which solutions really benefit from incorporating AI, and how we can validate these claims.
Meanwhile, CISOs are rightly concerned with gaining as much control as possible over internal systems so that they can be secured against known and novel threats. But businesses are also reliant on their supply chain and third-party systems, which have their own potential vulnerabilities. Haydn has a wealth of experience in this area, and sheds light on the potential risks third party relationships expose and how CISOs can manage them whilst maintaining the value of these relationships.
Finally, threat researcher extraordinaire Cyril Noel-Tagoe explains why criminals use bots to mass create fake accounts on web services, the other attacks these accounts facilitate, and how businesses can cut off fake accounts before they do their damage.
