For years, humans were considered the weakest link in cybersecurity—but with the emergence of AI, threat actors have shifted their focus to target AI systems. This session reviews the four reasons humans were seen as the weakest link—human error, susceptibility to social engineering, difficulty changing behavior, and insider threat— and then examines how AI systems fail in these very same categories. Participants will dive into real-world examples and research on how attackers target enterprise AI systems and explore what organizations need to consider before implementing AI-based solutions— or addressing those employees are already bringing into the workplace.

In this session you will:

• Review the four reasons humans have been considered the weakest link in cybersecurity
• Explore how AI systems exhibit similar weaknesses and how attackers exploit them
• Examine real-world examples and research on AI-targeted attacks
• Understand what organizations must consider before implementing AI-based solutions
