855 Laura Bell Main: AI and Cybersecurity

How to Protect Your Company from AI-Inspired Malware

Artificial Intelligence is changing everything about our lives and our businesses so fast it can be hard to keep up with all the innovations let alone how to protect our identities and our businesses from attack.

Every hour of every day there is an exciting new advance in AI and just as fast there is a new scare – a hallucination, a deep fake, new AI inspired malware, or just this week a security breach in Open AI’s ChatGPT revealed by competitor Google’s DeepMind, which figured out they could get user information from ChatGPT simply by prompting it to repeat the same word over and over again.

With innovation moving at lightning speed and so many companies building on top of third-party large language models like ChatGPT combined with so many other third-party libraries, there are new dangers and what cyber-security expert Laura Bell Main calls “supply chain insecurity”.

Laura is the CEO and co-founder of SafeStack, where she is on a mission to train some 30 million software developers worldwide to incorporate cybersecurity into their applications from day one. SafeStack is an online education platform offering flexible, high-quality, and people-focused secure development training for fast-moving companies. Laura also hosts the podcast Build Amazing Things Securely.

  • How freeform “prompt injecture” with AI tools is bringing with it a new and more dangerous cybersecurity threat.
  • Why the speed and diversity of AI innovation combined with many third-party tools presents challenges for companies large and small.
  • How the lack of transparency in Large Language Models (LLMs) makes it hard to know where the next malware or security threat is coming from.
  • Why it’s vital to train the 30 million software developers worldwide to incorporate security into their processes from day one.
  • How to productize a service business.
  • And much more.
