Missed cyberthreats: real-world cases where compromise assessment uncovered what was overlooked

As AI systems based on large language models become more powerful and widespread, more cybersecurity challenges emerge. From jailbreaks to indirect prompt injections, they are vulnerable to a wide array of LLM-specific threats. However, all these problems can be boiled down to one single issue: LLMs are probabilistic algorithms that are inherently unreliable, just like any other ML system. Does it mean they cannot be useful? Absolutely not! In this talk, we will discuss the challenges of secure and reliable LLM-based applications and the way to make them safer and more aligned with your business goals.

Unreliable AI: Addressing the Cybersecurity Risks of LLM-Based System

The NIS 2 Directive, effective since January 16, 2023, aims to bolster cybersecurity in the EU's key industries. Member states must implement it by October 17, 2024. It applies to specific entities in crucial sectors, categorized as essential or important, with shared requirements but varying supervisory measures and penalties.
 
Cybersecurity mandates cover risk analysis, information system security, incident handling, business continuity, supply chain security, network and information systems acquisition, basic cyber hygiene, cybersecurity training, cryptography use, human resources security, access control policies, and asset management.

Non-compliance may result in substantial fines, up to €10 million or 2% of annual turnover for essential entities, and up to €7 million or 1.4% for important entities. Companies should assess obligations, monitor national adoption, follow cybersecurity authorities' guidance, and fortify measures to manage cybersecurity risks.

As a cybersecurity vendor, Kaspersky leverages all of its expertise to help organizations build robust cyber defenses and be compliant with NIS 2. We can support you with our leading solutions and services.

The Future of AI in cybersecurity: what to expect in 2024

In today's media landscape, we consistently encounter news of companies falling victim to cyberattacks, resulting in the exposure and sale of their data on the dark web. The wide array of data available on the dark web market, including internal databases, infrastructure access, and compromised accounts, presents a pervasive problem that affects businesses of all sizes. These breaches and related incidents don’t only disrupt operations and damage reputations, but they can also result in substantial fines and legal consequences. 

According to Kaspersky, nearly half of the organizations that faced data breach incidents in 2022 lacked contact person responsible for handling such incidents. About one-third either failed to react, denied the incident, or showed indifference to their data being traded on the dark web. Only a few were adequately prepared to respond. 

At our upcoming webinar, Anna Pavlovskaya, an expert at Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence, will present a comprehensive guide to setting up a system that monitors dark web threats and navigating the aftermath of an incident. You will gain insights into: 

- Structuring the incident response process, including the approach, necessary steps, and the specific roles assigned to the team members responsible for the process. 
- Identifying the types of data commonly offered for sale on the dark web and understanding the differing response strategies based on these data categories. 
- Effective communication with the media, customers, partners, shareholders, top management, and other parties involved. 
- Strategies for rapid incident identification, investigation, response, and recovery from an incident or preventing it from occurring.
