Event Abstract:
Emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and even Quantum Computing are rapidly affecting business. In particular, AI has already significantly impacted our profession and enterprises even though we are still just in the early stages of an AI world. This session will explore the challenges involved with specific emerging technologies and how they impact Digital Trust, including cyber security, assurance and risk and even represent opportunity both from an enterprise and career perspective. The presentation materials will be supported by studies from recent ISACA pulse polls and research along with data from other sources.
For example, AI can improve how we implement cybersecurity or conduct IT audits. It can also improve many business processes and applications by replacing many tasks that must be done by humans today. However, AI also brings with it risk like hallucinations, vulnerabilities, entering confidential data into GenAI, poorly written code, and the rise of Shadow AI. For instance, AI assisted coding can improve software developer productivity, but developers might inadvertently share proprietary code with public AIs. In some cases, AI has even provided developers with malicious or vulnerable code! Attendees will learn how to embrace AI while adding appropriate guardrails and oversight by applying what Gartner calls AI Usage Control.
Attendees will learn how IoT (often combined with AI) changes the landscape for business today and the challenges that IoT poses relative to opportunity and risk. What challenges do both manufacturers and IoT customers face? What questions should ISACA professionals be asking relative to IoT security and risk?
The session will also explore how Quantum Computing might break the Internet and efforts underway to prevent that by applying the latest NIST approved post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms. Attendees will learn about the opportunities and risk that Quantum Computing presents, including the danger of "harvest now, decrypt later." ISACA’s recent pulse poll on quantum computing shows that while most respondents are aware of the risk, few are taking any action or even planning to take action. Attendees will learn why they need to take action now and what to do today to prepare their systems and data to be quantum resilient, including leveraging ISACA guidance.
Attendees will also learn leadership lessons about how to take advantage of the opportunities that emerging technology and rapid change provide. They will understand what leadership skills are important to develop and what ISACA and other resources are available to help them do so.
Learning objectives:
- Explain the impact of emerging technologies like AI, IoT and Quantum Computing on cyber security and risk
- Learn questions to ask relative to emerging technologies
- Understand how to grow leadership capabilities in a rapidly changing AI world
- Identify avenues for additional emerging technology education and experience
