The 2023 RSA Conference in San Francisco showcased cutting-edge developments in the cybersecurity landscape, focusing on the potential and challenges Large Language Models (LLMs), the increasing importance of identity as the new perimeter for cyber defense, and the cybersecurity imperative for national defense. In this blog, I’ll be diving into the three key themes that emerged from the conference and how they are shaping the future of cybersecurity.
Large Language Models
Large Language Models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, can solve complex problems by asking higher-level questions and identifying interconnected queries. By leveraging the power of these AI models, cybersecurity professionals can gain deeper insights and develop comprehensive strategies to stay ahead of potential threats.
Being able to regulate and control AI models is a crucial first-step before deploying this technology into enterprise customers. Rumman Chowdhury, a pioneer in the field of applied algorithmic ethics, spoke on the difficulty of determining the readiness and security of large language models (LLMs) for corporate implementation. LLM “enterprise readiness” remains a challenge, particularly given the swift transition of AI research and open-source elements into these products without comprehensive security reviews.
