Key note opening – “AI. Where are we going and how (not) to get there?
Anthony Boes, Director of Interagency Programs and Ethics Officer, National Institute for Artificial Intelligence, US Department of Veterans Affairs
Privacy and ethics as a foundation for AI risk management training
Julie McEwen, Head of Privacy Capabilities, Principal Cybersecurity and Privacy Engineer, MITER
The use of AI can present a number of privacy risks, and appropriate training can help manage these risks. This presentation will discuss key AI concepts, key privacy concepts, AI risks and privacy, and the synergy between privacy governance and AI governance. AI governance and AI privacy considerations to address in AI risk management courses will also be provided.
Phishing for user context. Understanding the NIST Phish Scale
Dr. A.S. Shane Dawkins, computer scientist, National Institute of Standards and Technology
Jody Jacobs, computer scientist National Institute of Standards and Technology
The NIST Phish Scale is a method for measuring human phishing detection difficulty that provides a phishing email detection difficulty score for phishing training implementers to better understand the variability in click rates resulting from their phishing training exercises. This talk will provide an overview of the role of user context in phishing detection and how our research led to the creation of the NIST Phish Scale. We’ll also introduce the NIST Phish Scale in detail, highlighting new ways to apply it to phishing awareness programs.
The future with AI
Tushar Rathod, Enterprise Architecture, Social Security Administration
AI will have a major impact on how we work, play and live in the near future. This presentation explores, suggests and speculates on future trends in the advent of AI as it matures and fulfills its promise.
Role-based learning, an epic tale of woes and triumphs
Morgan Floyd, InfoSec Training and Outreach Coordinator, Cyber Assurance, Texas Health & Human Services
Training security professionals to better protect our organizations should be a simple process, but in the rapidly changing field of cybersecurity, it is surprisingly difficult. We know they need training, but how do we know which training? To answer this question, we created a program based on the NICE Framework that reveals what our security professionals do and helps us understand what they need.
