"Govern Artificial Intelligence or be governed by it"

The new nature of risk

Digital transformation has significantly changed organizations' risk tolerances and exposure to risk. AI, IoT, automation, and connected ecosystems bring a broader risk exposure to all organizations. At the same time, regulations, publicity, fines, and costs force risk tolerances lower, requiring new thinking, priorities, and vigilance. At the core of everything is Information! Improving the Governance and Management of Enterprise Information and Technologies can’t wait! Emerging technologies in general and artificial intelligence in particular requires new thinking in security, privacy and risk management and COBIT 2019 is right there to support you.

The Org Chart

Cybercrime is big business. Traditional organised crime groups such as the Cosa Nostra, Yakuza, Chinese Triads, as well as Russian and Nigeria gangs have all opened “cyber” divisions. Additionally, new transnational syndicates like the Russian Business Network, ShadowCrew and Superzonda have risen to capture the opportunities in next generation crime.
The World Economic Forum estimates that transnational organised cybercrime gangs rake in more than $2 trillion a year in profits. To achieve this, they organise themselves like a business locating their headquarters in jurisdictional safe havens free with corrupt or weak governments free of extradition. They implement cutting-edge business practices straight out of Wharton or Harvard Business School textbooks to ensure a return for their shareholders formalising department heads, divisions of labour, product delivery and testing, sales, marketing, consultant and supply chain management through to customer feedback.
To understand the power and professionalism of today’s cybercriminal organisations, we need only take a good look at its org chart. This presentation deconstructs the modern cybercriminal organisation reviewing the roles, responsibilities and reporting lines associated with 12 key positions in an established CyberCrime.com business. Additionally, it presents the key roles in a cybercriminal “start-up” business to ensure its success.
The content of this presentation is based on over 20 years of open-source and dark web available material along with publicly available law enforcement case documentation.

Blockchain: A Tool for Risk Management

Blockchain applied to risk management will promote scalability and synergies.

Blockchain is a versatile and programmable platform, that is collaborative, transparent, and unchangeable and allows, through a verification system, the proof of the authenticity of each transaction. This tool presents itself as a platform for the resolution of conflicts, as well as reducing costs and increasing speed.

During the seminar at the ISACA Malta Chapter Biennial Conference, we will look at several practical applications of blockchain as a tool for risk management, by presenting an integrated model between different activity sectors. With this facilitator, we can successfully build solutions.

Attention: The “looks” of a Risky Business

How design aesthetics impact human perception of security and risk in digital products.

How users perceive the trustworthiness of information systems is not trivial, in fact, if a user cannot trust technology to execute commands on their behalf, then the user will not run it. Yet, if a user is overfamiliar with a system it may not quickly notice changes that could imply that the system is a false system aimed to deceive the user.

When one conceives a new system with the aim of managing risk one could over occupy oneself with the programmatic technology itself, i.e. the code, the encryptions, the connections.  However, how does one keep in mind and thus manage fraud that can rapidly occur by the simple act of “peeling off the face” of a digital product or service and copying that frontend to another backend playing on biases that increase acceptive behaviour and diminish perceptual signs of risk. The level of trust that is placed in the information technology and software systems depends on the experience and interactions a user has in functionality and usability; both heavily relying on aesthetics.

Designing in environments aimed to mitigate risk, begs the questions:

  • How important is visual design in the business of risk management when digital information systems are utilised?
  • How does the experience of design impact our cognitive evaluation of something as trustworthy or not - particularly when dealing with technologies instead of humans?
  • What learnings can be shared when building an identity for a secure digital proposition?
  • Can design help you control behaviour and increase success metrics for compliance in a digital environment?
