Through the Lens of ISMG: AI Takes Center Stage: Threats, Opportunities and Governance at #RSAC2024 | Edition 70

Artificial intelligence took center stage at the RSA Conference 2024 with discussions around the latest AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions, AI tactics used by adversaries, and who's in charge of AI in today's enterprises.

Generative AI has opened avenues for innovation for defenders and threat actors alike. ISMG editors conducted dozens of insightful interviews at RSA, and the buzz centered around the debate of which executive should oversee security and privacy concerns related to the large-scale adoption of generative AI tools - the CIO, CRO or CISO?

From "Integrating AI Into Cybersecurity Systems" to "Scripting Winning AI Strategies," here is a pick of interviews to keep you informed about the groundbreaking opportunities and major threats that AI poses in today’s world. Stay tuned to our ISMG Media Network to watch more than 160+ interviews that we recorded LIVE at #RSAC2024!
