Beyond AI Hype - Trust, Transparency & Security MySecTV 2024-06-03 | As Vice President and CTO, Solutions, for Salesforce ASEAN, Gavin Barfield leads a team of Salesforce engineers across the region to develop and drive integrated technology solutions for Salesforce customers. Gavin works closely with customers in ASEAN on their digital transformations, bringing together the full value of the Salesforce platform to drive positive business outcomes. A seasoned IT veteran with over 20 years of experience, Gavin has a deep technology background in areas like IT infrastructure, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and program management for a variety of industries. Prior to joining Salesforce, he has held C-level positions managing IT and transformation for some of Southeast Asia’s largest companies, such as Ayala Corporation and Meralco. Gavin also brings many years of experience in management consulting into his work for customers.Gavin has a passion for emerging technologies and he regularly speaks at international conferences and other forums on the future of disruptive technologies and how they affect people and work.- In this interview, Gavin discusses how, to drive AI adoption and reap the benefits of AI, businesses need accurate, complete data and humans in the driver’s seat. He highlights several key points:• Trust and Value Gaps: Two main barriers to AI adoption are the trust gap and the value gap. Trust in generative AI is essential, as companies need to ensure that AI outputs are accurate, unbiased, and secure.• Human at the Helm: Gavin emphasizes the importance of having humans oversee AI operations. AI should complement human work by enhancing capabilities while maintaining transparency and trust with customers.• Quality Data: AI systems need to be grounded in high-quality, trusted data. Many companies struggle with AI outputs due to a lack of trust in the data used to train these models.• Use Case Awareness: Understanding the appropriate use cases for AI is crucial. Companies need to educate employees and align AI implementations with specific business problems to maximize benefits.• Governance and Training: Effective governance and training are necessary to build trust in AI. Organizations should focus on data accuracy, transparency, and the role of AI as a supportive tool, not a replacement for humans.• Security and Privacy: Protecting customer and company data is paramount. Salesforce has implemented a trust layer that masks personal information, uses secure gateways, and ensures data is not retained by large language models (LLMs).• Future of AI: Gavin anticipates that within a year, the AI landscape will evolve with more specialized LLMs tailored to specific industries and regions. Trust, security, and embedding AI into everyday workflows will remain critical factors for successful AI adoption.

AI Security - Backdoors and Poisoned Data MySecTV 2024-05-22 | In this interview at Black Hat Asia 2024, we spoke with Adrian Wood and Mary Walker, security engineers from Dropbox, about the critical issues surrounding AI security, backdoors, and malware.Adrian and Mary explained that many users rely on pre-existing machine learning (ML) models from public repositories rather than creating their own. This introduces vulnerabilities similar to those found in open-source software. Using in-house data requires careful handling to avoid bias and unintended consequences, while third-party models can be compromised.They emphasized that downloading and running models from the internet can introduce malware. Attackers can backdoor models to alter their functions or insert malicious code, posing significant threats, especially in sensitive industries.Adrian and Mary also stressed the importance of understanding the ML environment, ensuring proper logging, and having incident response plans in place. Companies should prepare by conducting tabletop exercises and securing their supply chains.For more educational information on machine learning: gist.github.com/5stars217/236bab5d1d8d50e9785a4136aca8cf20 --------Dropbox, Security Engineer - Adrian Wood, aka threlfall, currently works for Dropbox on their red team.

Grant shares anecdotes, such as using ChatGPT to craft children's bedtime stories.Acknowledging glimpses of success in applying generative AI to customer interactions, Grant highlights the challenges of scaling these applications. Ongoing efforts focus on optimizing technology for widespread use, particularly in customer service scenarios.In the realm of Gen AI transforming information into intelligence, Grant provides statistical insights into the platform's extensive reach, encompassing millions of candidate profiles, billions of interactions, and a substantial volume of job applications. Gen AI's value lies in extracting insights from traditionally unstructured data like job ads and CVs, summarizing and distilling it for actionable intelligence.Anticipating a transformative shift in user experience, Grant envisions users communicating with AI more naturally. This evolution, inclusive of voice interfaces, promises new avenues for interaction, moving away from adapting to machine language.Delving into responsibility in AI implementation, Grant underscores the importance of responsibly handling data and biases to prevent reinforcing discriminatory outcomes through AI. Emphasizing the necessity to understand the risks associated with training data and be mindful of potential impacts on individuals affected by AI-generated decisions.Exploring the challenges and realities of AI impact on jobs, Grant highlights the disparity between the hype around AI's impact on jobs and tangible transformations in the job market. A balanced perspective is crucial to avoid overestimating or underestimating AI's immediate effects. Jobs are perceived as bundles of tasks, and Grant emphasizes the complexity of job market transformations. While some tasks may automate, others evolve or experience increased demand. For instance, the transition from last-mile delivery to drone-based delivery illustrates how job demands can shift within industries.In preparing for change and AI adoption, Grant advises individuals, employers, and business owners to embrace adaptability in the face of evolving technological landscapes. Individuals are encouraged to explore and experiment with AI tools in their daily lives. Employers should focus on evolving skill requirements rather than rigidly adhering to traditional hiring practices. Additionally, caution is advised in AI adoption, especially in building internal capabilities. It involves asking the right questions about underlying AI capabilities, understanding potential risks.Recorded on 29th February 2024, 6pm, SEEK office (Wallich Street, Singapore).

Digital Devices at Risk – Understanding and Countering Firmware Threats MySecTV 2023-11-30 | Dr. Yuriy Bulygin is the CEO and founder of Eclypsium, the digital supply chain security company that helps organizations protect their critical hardware, firmware, and software. Prior to Eclypsium, Yuriy was Chief Threat Researcher and led the Microprocessor Security Analysis team at Intel Corporation, as well as the Advanced Threat Research team at Intel Security. He is also the creator of CHIPSEC, the popular open-source firmware and hardware supply chain security assessment framework. When enterprises started using CHIPSEC to find vulnerabilities, discover compromised firmware, or just poke around hardware systems, Yuriy founded Eclypsium with Alex Bazhaniuk. Since then Eclypsium has been on a mission to protect devices from supply chain risks.In this interview, Yuriy highlights the potential vulnerabilities in the firmware (software running the hardware) in today’s digital devices, and the risk posed by threat actors.Using a typical PC as an example, which involves contributions from over 265 suppliers, each with its components and code, he notes the ubiquity of software, and liken the supply chain of such a device to a “Wild West”:“at any point in the supply chain, at any of those links in the supply chain, a compromise may happen”, and “ all of these components and all the code that is developed by those suppliers and vendors has vulnerabilities.”He elaborated that “even if it's OK now … 3 months from now, it can be compromised because of those vulnerabilities.”To give an example, he referenced the recently discovered threat in the wild – “BlackLotus”, an evolution of threats based on open-source frameworks – e.g. Lojax, MosaicRegressor, Moon bounce - discovered in the past 3 to 4 years. He highlighted the characteristics of such threats:• These UEFI compromises allow attackers to compromise equipment remotely, for access or persistent malware installation. • They cannot be removed by reinstalling operating system or reimaging or even replacing the hard drive.• BlackLotus exploitation of the UEFI system vulnerabilities, particularly the Secure Boot - a fundamental security feature adopted by modern operating systems - sets it apart as an advanced threat, marking the first instance of such threats discovered "in the wild."He explained that compromising firmware is attractive for threat actors for many reasons:• Stay hidden: Detection and protection controls operate at the software application level and above, but there is no equivalent for firmware.• Achieve "Persistence" - where traditional mitigation measures cannot remove the malware/threats.• Simplicity – for example, exploiting firmware vulnerabilities to gain access is much simpler than developing a very complicated exploit chain.• Gain high privileges – Remain hidden and persistent while gaining high level of privileges.To mitigate against malicious firmware implants, Yuriy suggested, (a) assess the supply chain risks (e.g. potential vulnerabilities and threats introduced during procurement and deployment), (b) continuous monitoring of system integrity, (c) implement specialized technologies designed for malicious firmware detection.

Initial insights to the Australian Cyber Security Strategy 2023 - 2030 MySecTV 2023-11-23 | We speak with Nigel Phair, Professor - Practise, Department of Software Systems & Cybersecurity with Monash University on the release of the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy. The relaunched 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy will be a “game-changing strategy,” according to O’Neil. She says cybersecurity is Australia’s fastest-growing national security challenge. The updated strategy will see the government invest another AUD600 million into fighting cybercrime, based on the six cyber shields or pillars O’Neil articulated at a cybersecurity conference in Sydney in September.Professor Phair said, "The Strategy highlights the need for a skilled workforce to solve the cyber security problems of the future. The higher education sector is well placed and stands ready to support the government in this aim."Partnerships between academia, business and government will be critical to meeting the goals of the Strategy. A joined-up approach where all three sectors work together is efficient and effective."Professor Carsten Rudolph, Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity, Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University has added, "Support for countries with cyber security incidents is definitely useful and highly welcome. However, in the long-term it will be necessary to support countries in the Pacific region to establish their own sovereign cyber security capabilities. “A 'we need to do it for them’ approach will provide support, but also create new dependencies and the clear message from the October 2023 P4C conference in Fiji was that Pacific countries require longer-term commitments that build resilience in a strategic and holistic manner.“Many countries have gone through comprehensive cyber security reviews, such as the ones delivered by the Oceania Cyber Security Centre OCSC in Melbourne and these countries have developed roadmaps to improve their cyber security maturity. “Incident response support should be complemented by funding that builds on existing initiatives, reports and should consider the countries' own roadmaps. Building up capabilities and teams in Pacific countries, for example in collaboration with their national universities, can be one way to establish resources and create local talent. These local experts can then also have perspectives for careers in cyber security in their home countries.”Further readinghttps://australiancybersecuritymagazine.com.au/cyber-security-minister-eyes-blanket-ransomware-ban-in-two-years/Link to strategy: mysecuritymarketplace.com/reports/australian-cyber-security-strategy#mysecuritytv #cybersecurity #monashuniversity

His experience as a Technology, Media and Telecommunications lawyer spans both the private and public sectors. He has spoken and published in areas relating to electronic evidence and intellectual property, as well as legal issues relating to Blockchain and AI deployment. Zee Kin is an internationally recognized expert on AI ethics. He spearheaded the development of Singapore’s Model AI Governance Framework, which won the UNITU WSIS Prize in 2019. He is currently a member of the OECD Network of Experts on AI (ONE AI). In 2019, he was a member of the AI Group of Experts at the OECD (AIGO), which developed the OECD Principles on AI. These principles have been endorsed by the G20 in 2019. He was also an observer participant at the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on AI, which fulfilled its mandate in June 2020Zee Kin is also a well-regarded expert on data privacy issues. He has contributed to publications on legal issues relating to data privacy and has spoken at many well-recognised international and domestic platforms on this topic.--In this interview, Zee Kin shares his insights on the legal challenges in the Era of Advanced AIZee Kin highlighted that with the latest AI innovations, the responsibility and legal issues remain largely consistent, but the tools and technology introduce different challenges.For instance, he shared that such concerns around content, child protection, intermediary behavior, data security, data protection, and cybercrime remain, while challenges such as detection of fake content has intensified due to increased tool accessibility and the scalability of threats. Referring to the "Getty vs. Stability AI" case, he shared that the interesting question is the use of copyrighted data to train AI models – which is not new, and the key is to establish a proper legal basis for using such data. Data lineage and the provenance of data have always been important in legal contexts. He also noted that these concerns have also surfaced during the recent governmental responses around the world to the latest AI innovations.Zee Kin also highlighted the challenges with defining terms such as "fairness," "transparency," and "repeatability" – varies by context, where expectations and priorities for AI differ based on its use, such as safety and predictability in medicine, and bias and fairness in personal data applications.Repeatability poses an additional challenge in Generative AI because every iteration of an image or summary will vary (**owing to Generative AI's statistical predictive nature).Zee Kin also shares his views of AI's impact on job security, nothing that there will be emerging opportunities for lawyers to use AI tools for efficiency and error reduction.Recorded at TechLaw Fest 2023, 21st Sept 2023, 3.30pm, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.#mysecuritytv #cybersecurity #ai #law #ailawyer
Generative AI – cybersecurity opportunities & challenges MySecTV 2023-10-25 | Jane Lo speaks with Ben Verschaeren, Director, Global Solutions, Sophos about cybersecurity opportunities and challenges with Generative AI.With over 19 years in the IT industry, Ben Verschaeren is a seasoned professional based in Melbourne. He leads global strategic initiatives, educates on threat landscapes, and develops training tools focusing on real-world exploits. Ben also directs a global sales engineering team responding to RFPs, and a software engineering team creating high-quality products for various uses. His prior roles include serving as a Solution Architect at JB HiFi, Australia's largest retailer, and at Thiess, the leading mining and construction company in Australia. Ben’s unique blend of sales and engineering experience across diverse sectors enables him to drive tech-forward initiatives with an innovative approach, affirming his position as a key asset in the industry.In this interview, Ben kicked off the interview by sharing his insights on drivers into the wide-spread popularity of the latest AI technology – “generative AI”. On discussing how generative AI could transform the cybersecurity landscape, Ben acknowledged that it could help increase the productivity of cyber defenders, as an “AI” personal assistant – such as “help you write code” or “help you write query”. However, he also cautioned that the technology also introduces new threats.Elaborating on some of the emerging threats, he said that contrary to expectations, malware generated by LLM can be more easily detected than phishing emails and synthetic voice. To mitigate against such threats, he suggested enhancing business processes and controls (for example, robust fund transfer authorisation, to mitigate phishing risk). He also recommended conducting user awareness training regularly to align with the fast-evolving landscape of phishing tactics, emphasising the importance of understanding the "why."Another threat is the potential of generative AI to “hallucinate” when making recommendations for software libraries. He pointed out this issue underscores the need to maintain a SBOM (software bill of materials), and implementing quality controls throughout the software development process.Ben also recommended that organisations looking to embrace AI, develop an “AI policy”, providing guidance in areas such as the types of data or models that to be used during training and deployment. He also shared that middleware solutions are available to anonymise the data entered in the prompt, and check that no personally identifiable information (PII) is included.Wrapping up, Ben notes that rapid pace of generative AI development and “the landscape is changing everyday”, and advises cyber defenders to “stay on top”, “don’t be complacent”, and it is “another area where and different threats are emerging every day”.Recorded at Cloud Expo Asia, Singapore Marina Bay Sands, 12th October 2023.#mysecuritytv #sophos #generativeai #cybersecurity
