7:45 - intermission
8pm - continue talk / social time

Session description: In this session, Todd examines the state of AI security in 2025, focusing on emerging threats, recent incidents, and evolving defense strategies. As AI systems become integral to critical sectors, risks like adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model theft are on the rise. We’ll explore how organizations are responding with tools, robust safeguards, and policy shifts. Attendees will gain insights into current challenges, ethical considerations, and the future of securing AI in an increasingly connected world.

The inside scoop: I heard this presentation last week at our annual Cisco Security Architecture Summit and I immediately knew that it would be a perfect session for an upcoming InfoSec Hamilton event. I'll be removing some internal-only content and I'll be focusing primarily on the general industry wide content in the deck (as with all things InfoSec Hamilton related, this isn't a sales pitch!).
