9.30 | Evolution of Cyberthreats and the Human Factor with Luca Faramondi, Professor, Department of Engineering, Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome
Cyberthreats evolve rapidly, often more quickly than countermeasures and interest all types of devices. At centre of the problem is the “human factor,” a fundamental aspect that characterises most threats and attacks. Reports on cyberattacks reveal that, in business contexts, cybercriminals focus on employees, using them as a point of entry to the IT systems. Indeed, they have been identified as the main vulnerability of technologically secure systems. At the same time, state-of-the-art systems that rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are not exempt from attacks. One such case concerns adversarial machine learning. The presentation will analyse how the human factor has historically represented the greatest vulnerability for a systems ranging from classical IT to critical infrastructure, and then analyse the new threats represented by adversarial machine learning.
10.30 | The Impact of Generative AI on the World of Arts and Entertainment
with Edoardo Lorenzo Mancini, Fondazione Mondo Digitale Coach
How is Generative AI revolutionising the arts and entertainment sectors with new opportunities and professional challenges?
