How to Conduct a Risk Assessment of an Al Ecosystem | David Kim

Steve Stasiukonis (Founder of Secure Network Intelligence) details how offensive security firms and dark-web adversaries are weaponizing open-source large language models to automate hyper-targeted physical and digital attacks.

Dynamic threat landscapes require a shift from a reactive mindset—punishing an attacker after a breach—to an absolute architectural defense: Deterrence by Design. The objective is to construct systems that are fundamentally too hardened to penetrate, manipulate, or coerce.  In this forward-looking presentation, security strategy consultant Bidemi Ologunde maps the dramatic evolution of global cyber defense.

Dr. Felix Hernandez (a 25-year IT veteran and CISO) breaks down the alarming reality of modern deepfakes. Moving far beyond old-school Photoshop, today's threat actors are using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and advanced open-source tools to execute terrifyingly realistic social engineering attacks. Felix literally transforms himself live on stage into George Clooney and Kendrick Lamar using a standard gaming laptop, demonstrating how effortlessly an attacker can hijack a corporate virtual meeting (like Microsoft Teams or Zoom) using free virtual camera tools like OBS.
