While malware and ransomware tend to dominate cybersecurity headlines, Fortra’s research shows that nearly 99% of email threats reaching corporate inboxes utilize impersonation rather than malware. Email impersonation is a key component of credential phishing, advance fee fraud, hybrid vishing, and business email compromise schemes. Because email impersonation scams rely on social engineering rather than technology, the barrier to entry for an aspiring cybercriminal is almost non-existent. In this segment, we’ll explore strategies for defending against email impersonation.

Some organizations are banning ChatGPT and other generative AI models out of fear of the risks they could introduce. While this is understandable, the reality is generative AI is accelerating so fast that, very soon, banning it in the workplace will be like blocking employee access to their web browser. Randy Lariar, Practice Director of Big Data, AI and Analytics at Optiv, will discuss how to embrace the new technology and shift the focus from preventing it in the workplace to adopting it safely and securely. We will discuss the challenges and benefits of generative AI, including: - How to detect AI tools and usage - How to develop policies and procedures for using AI tools - How the protect the models, data, and infrastructure to support AI tools - What are the regulatory requirements that may impact AI tools and usage - What are the benefits of using AI tools

Appsec teams and developers must both understand the consequences of what they're doing when building APIs. Appsec teams need to push for collaboration and help implement tools that augment the development process. Dev teams need to wrangle complex architectures and work on addressing classes of vulns rather than just playing BugOps with scanner outputs.
