In the hands of malicious actors, #GenerativeAI can have serious repercussions. Large language and large image models allow people to create advanced content at scale with relatively little effort. They can be used to scam victims and deceive viewers with deepfakes and misinformation. With that, AI content classifiers continue to improve, and these dangers only serve as a reminder about the importance of protecting your personal data.

Cybersecurity is a necessity for all businesses — but not every company can afford to invest in it. The stark differences between those above and below the cybersecurity poverty line is a growing cause for concern. Join Cyber Threat Alliance as they host an informational webinar on Oct. 8th at 2 p.m. CST with Wendy Nather, J. Michael Daniel and our very own Joe Levy. They will discuss the issues surrounding the poverty line, why it matters, and what our industry should do to help. Register here:
🎤 Join us Oct 8th 3 pm ET for webinar: Cybersecurity Divide: Addressing the Cyber Poverty Line. In today’s interconnected ecosystem, risk is shared among the haves & the have-nots alike. Addressing this helps us all! With Wendy Nather, Joe Levy, CEO, Sophos and J. Michael Daniel President & CEO, Cyber Threat Alliance https://lnkd.in/gWTEbF4D Abstract: When Wendy Nather coined the term “cybersecurity poverty line,” the cybersecurity industry was not paying attention to how unevenly cybersecurity capabilities were distributed. This term provided a way to conceptualize the stark divide between the companies who could afford to invest in good cybersecurity and those who could not, and it sparked a discussion about how to help those entities operating below that poverty line. In the years since, however, the number of entities below the cybersecurity poverty line has only increased. Yet, we know that in an interconnected ecosystem, risk is shared among the haves and have-nots alike. Join us as Wendy Nather, Joe Levy (CEO, Sophos) and J. Michael Daniel (CEO, Cyber Threat Alliance) talk about the poverty line, why it matters, and what the #cybersecurity industry should do about it. #CISO #cyberpovertyline #cyberdivide #CSO #CPO #CTO #infosecurity

Forty percent of companies are uncertain about what is covered by their #CyberInsurance. In addition, the rising costs from cyberattacks has made cyber insurers re-evaluate their insurance. It’s important to understand your coverage details to be prepared in the event of an attack. Insurer requirements for data protection can reduce more financial risks associated with cyberattacks such as ransom payments and downtime.
