About this keynote
Firstly, thank you to the fantastic team at Fortinet, the global leader in cyber security solutions and services, for asking me to be their opening keynote at this years System Integrator (SI) summit held in Prague, where over three hundred of their top SI’s and Managed Service Partners (MSPs) from across the world came together to learn about the latest cyber threats and risks and how to counter them.
Split into two parts this keynote is divided into emergent cyber threats and emergent defense concepts, with the purpose of the session being to open the audiences eyes to their unknown unknowns so that they, and all of us, can be better prepared for the threats that lie ahead as technologies improve exponentially and as state sponsored actors and hackers get bolder.
During the keynote I dove into the myriad of new tools that attackers are developing to circumvent the latest state of the art defense systems, such as the use of sound to watch your screen and clone your biometrics, the use of DNA Malware to corrupt police forensics systems, and the use of human psychology to compromise, corrupt, and destroy the latest AI Foundational models and systems that hundreds of millions of people are using every day.
Then, next, I dove into the development of autonomous agentic cyber offense and defense systems before showing the audience how we can use white noise to corrupt and interfere with auditory attacks, use AI Large Audio Models (LAMs) and Machine Vision systems to see the latest polymorphic malware variants and phishing attacks, and then explored the development of the latest predictive cyber defense systems, and a myriad of other new concepts.
