About this Event
Speaker: Danika Hannon, Cybersecurity Graduate Student, University of North Dakota
Bio: After following the cybersecurity industry for nine years, Danika Hannon started formally studying for a cybersecurity Master's degree in 2023. In analyzing emerging threats, Hannon relies on DARPA's threat intelligence framework of figuring out who the threat actor is, what motivates them, what they're targeting, and how they're doing it. With that information in place, Hannon focuses on sharing guidance with both business and technical communities so that leaders can stay a step ahead of threat actors.
Abstract: Generative AI vs. Human Psychology
We all know that in February of this year, scammers tricked an executive in Hong Kong to send nearly $26 million out of his company. But have you ever thought about what went wrong from a psychology standpoint?
We'll take a human-centered look at what went wrong in Hong Kong and how things like cultural norms, financial industry standards, and cognitive fatigue created rich vulnerabilities for attackers to exploit.
We'll also look at lesser-known generative AI case studies from a UK energy company, the world's biggest ad firm, and a well-known car maker.
And most important of all, we'll walk through the human-based defenses that you can use to defend against these threats.
ISSA would like to thank Varonis, Forescout, Armis and Rapid7 our annual sponsors.
