SUMMARY:Analyzing AI Security and Vulnerabilities in the Current Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Interested in careers in AI and cybersecurity? Then don’t miss this highly informative workshop covering today’s most relevant trends in this space. \n  \nIn this 2-part session\, you’ll get expert insight from security leaders at Microsoft. Here’s a breakdown of each part: \n  \nWhen AI Breaks\, Be the One Who Notices\nSpeaker: Raji Vanninathan \nDiscover how AI Security and AI Safety vulnerability research can lead to real‑world impact\, public credit\, and a competitive edge in the current job market. This talk focuses on how students can understand what qualifies as a real AI vulnerability\, how meaningful findings are assessed and validated\, and how responsible disclosure\, CVEs\, and bug bounty programs translate research into recognized impact across the industry We will also explore emerging challenges facing bounty programs as AI-assisted discoveries drivers higher volume and how the signal‑to‑noise problem of “AI slop” is reshaping vulnerability triage and detection. \nReimagining Security for the Agentic AI \nSpeaker: Neta Haiby \nAs AI evolves from tools into autonomous agents that can plan\, act\, and collaborate\, traditional security models start to break down. This session explores how agentic AI changes the rules of trust\, access\, and accountability – introducing challenges like agent sprawl\, permission misuse\, and unintended actions across systems.\nBuilding on foundational AI security concepts\, we’ll dive into practical strategies for securing and governing AI agents covering identity\, access control\, monitoring\, and human oversight. Students will leave with a clear mental model for securing agent-based systems and the skills to think critically about the next generation of AI security architectures. \n  \nDon’t miss this highly relevant and compelling event!
