November General Meeting
Expert Panel Discussion on Cybersecurity in the Age of AI Threats
Panel: Terry Ingoldsby, Andrew Ginter, Roy Brander
A few years ago, Roy Brander presented his perspective on the resilience of our vital infrastructure against cyber attacks. Since then, Artificial Intelligence has evolved substantially, and continues to do so at a rapid pace.
How much more worried should we be now, compared to just a few years ago?
Join us for a panel discussion with security experts in related fields. Terry Ingoldsby explains how analysis based on attack trees is just as applicable to AI-based attacks as it is to human-based attacks. Andrew Ginter considers the implications of AI-based attacks on critical operations technology. Roy Brander keeps them both honest with respect to certain key infrastructure.
Terry Ingoldsby is President of Amenaza Technologies Limited, and was a founding board member and past president of CUUG. He is the chief technical architect of the SecurITree attack tree analysis software tool. Over the past several years he has dealt with numerous high security clients in aerospace, defence and critical infrastructure environments.
Andrew Ginter is Vice President of Industrial Security at Waterfall Security Solutions. His career spanned product development for telecomms, industrial control systems, and for the last two decades, industrial cybersecurity. He has written four books on that topic, and is co-host of the Industrial Security Podcast.
Roy Brander is a CUUG Life Member and retired Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Calgary Water Resources. He has given a number of presentations to CUUG on a wide variety of subjects, including the BSDWall project, the MEPIS Linux distribution, the Titanic, management of Calgary's water mains, and the ASUS Eee PC and Moore's Law. He'll be coming to us virtually from his Vancouver condo overlooking Stanley Park.
