This channel features presentations by leading experts in the field of information security. From application, computer, network and Internet security to access control management, data privacy and other hot topics, you will walk away with practical advice for your strategic and tactical information security initiatives.

Senior management often has a fundamental question regarding cyberattacks: How would cyberattacks affect our organization?  Business impact analyses (BIA), as they have been performed for decades, are inadequate.  The determination of desired recovery times and recovery points may be meaningless in the face of stolen information and ransomware attacks that reflect what business leaders would like to be done rather than what IT can do.  Moreover, new government rules require analysis and disclosure that necessitate an understanding by executive management of what the impact of a cyberattack would be if an attack were to occur.  This session provides an approach to determining what the impact of a cyberattack would be.

Tune in to this webinar to learn:
- How cyberattacks change the context of BIA.
- What are the potential financial, operational, reputational, regulatory and societal impacts of cyberattacks.
- How to conduct a cyber impact analysis.
- How a cyber impact analysis can drive cyber resilience strategy.

If you have managed to evade a data breach or fines from the regulator, then well done! Today, business and government organizations inform the public of a data breach, whereas in the past they kept quiet to avoid reputational damage until the news eventually got out!

Based on recent events, either caused internally or externally by threat actors like staff, individuals, hackers, organized crime or state governments, protection of your data and its privacy has become quite challenging.

This webinar will focus on data protection and the consequences of non-compliance. One example of this is Uber fined $324 million for personal data transfer. It will also cover unauthorized access through third-party suppliers and contractors), as well as tips to evaluate your data policy.

Tune into this session presented by business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and major incident expert Steve Yates, as he shares his views on protecting data security and privacy. Yates will explore these elements from the attacker’s point of view and take attendees on a learning path to consider their own state of readiness for data breaches and disclosure of personal, corporate, and government information. 

By the end of the session, you will be able to:
• Know the importance of understanding your organizations end-to-end data world, specifically mapping data sources and where it resides.
• Understand how easy it could be to cause disruption, modification, or destruction of critical data along with the services which they support.
• Understand the core organizational components necessary for regulation and compliance of your data resources.

How Secure and Private is Your Data?

Despite the advent of so much emerging technology like AI in cybersecurity, the continuing success of data breaches and cyber crime through social engineering and tech complacency is a sobering reminder that so called “low tech” IT security basics still matter. 

In this presentation, Hilton's IT Security and Compliance Analyst Ralph Villanueva will discuss recent cyber security threats and incidents that made the headlines. Attendees will learn what they can do to mitigate these threats in their companies as well as what tools and techniques they can use - without breaking the bank or summoning the AI gods

AI-Enabled Cybersecurity is Overrated: Why Low Tech IT Security Basics Still Matter in 2025

Artificial intelligence continues to reach new heights. But this technology can and frequently is misused for fraudulent activities. New attacks and modifications occur daily. For some, AI is a perceived boon. Others strongly argue that AI is a menace. Either way, AI is here to stay. By embracing this technology responsibly, we can effect a constructive change and enhance more efficient outcomes.
 
Powerful AI can analyze, detect, and react against fraudulent activities. A holistic cybersecurity approach to build ethical AI can help mitigate various risks via a high quality, well-trained multimodal AI model, that includes threat detection and user and entity behaviors analytics that can respond efficiently, effectively and ethically against bad actors.
 
In this talk, industry thought leader Mayra Paredes will describe three of the most repetitive challenges presented by AI and how the cybersecurity industry can embrace them to build a proactive response against the threat landscape.
-              AI Ethics: Morality Bias, weaponization, liability stereotypes. Integrate diverse contributors to build this technology.
-              AAA Systems: Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. Build an Ethical core system.
-              Lack of expertise in the workforce: Embrace AI to foster diverse talent.
 
Readers will come away from this talk with the different nuances surrounding AI and its potential application in cybersecurity. They will also be able to create clear management policies to restore trust in digital environment by building ethical AI.

Tackle 3 Common AI Challenges to Build Effective Security Programs

AI holds great potential for enhancing cybersecurity, offering advanced threat detection, rapid response capabilities, and predictive analytics. However, recent PhD research reveals unique challenges and risks associated with integrating AI into cybersecurity strategies.
