Every year, the role of AI in cybersecurity becomes more important. This is especially true in the security operations center (SOC), where native AI detection and GenAI-powered workflows are advancing cyber defense and shaping the end-to-end analyst experience. But as defenders use AI to operate with greater speed and scale, adversaries are following suit by using Dark AI to enable and accelerate cyberattacks.
AI is also fundamentally reshaping the attack surface for enterprises, introducing new attack vectors and vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit, and reinforcing the need for organizations to understand and operationalize the technology, both with product guardrails and policy implementations.
For over a decade, CrowdStrike has been at the forefront of AI innovation in cybersecurity. From our origins as first engine powered by ML integrated into VirusTotal, to be rewarded Best AI Solution By the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, CrowdStrike continues to drive innovation through AI-powered technology and contributions to AI research, responsible AI adoption, and AI hardware partnerships.
These AI innovations will be fully exposed to Fal.Con 2024the world’s fastest-growing cybersecurity event, scheduled for September 16-19 in Las Vegas. Our dedicated AI program includes 12 breakout sessions designed to help you accelerate security operations and learn from the leading security researchers and engineers driving AI innovation.
The must-see sessions of Fal.Con
The AI track at Fal.Con 2024 is divided into three categories: Responsible AI Adoption, GenAI Research, and CrowdStrike Partner Sessions. Here are the sessions we’re most looking forward to.
Responsible adoption of AI
Emerging trends in cybersecurity and AI-related regulations
Thursday, September 19, 11:00 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | Add to calendar
AI is essential to modern cybersecurity, but the emergence of defensive and offensive large language models (LLMs) raises new considerations for IT and compliance approaches. In this session, CrowdStrike’s Chief Scientist and CrowdStrike’s Vice President and Advisor of Privacy and Cyber Policy will explain how LLMs work in cybersecurity, recent legislative developments, and advice for security teams.
Securing AI: Strengthening the Growing Attack Surface of AI Systems
Thursday, September 19, 10:00 a.m.-10:45 a.m. | Add to calendar
Learn about emerging vulnerabilities within AI systems and throughout the model lifecycle that expose them to adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and more. This session will feature high-profile case studies of compromised AI models to illustrate their real-world impacts. Discover practical strategies for building resilient AI models, implementing strict testing protocols, adopting secure coding practices, and improving continuous monitoring with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform.
GenAI Research
From Hero to Superhero: Mastering Speed Engineering with Charlotte AI
Wednesday, September 18, 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. | Add to calendar
Improve your rapid engineering skills with advice from Charlotte’s AI experts. This session will guide you through query structuring and provide troubleshooting tips to maximize productivity. Discover the secrets to getting the most out of Charlotte AI to drive productivity gains across all workflows.
Byte Back: Revolutionizing Malware Classification with GenAI
Tuesday, September 17, 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. | Add to calendar
Learn how CrowdStrike data scientists are leveraging GenAI to redefine malware analysis, going beyond traditional markers of file analysis. This session will explore a new use case for GenAI to more effectively predict whether a file is malicious.
Decoding the Detections: Deobscuring the Explainability of Detections with Google Gemini
Wednesday, September 18, 3:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. | Add to calendar
CrowdStrike and Google have partnered to tackle the elusive challenges of malware detection and explainability. The research teams will present their joint research efforts on how the Gemini 1.5 Pro’s cutting-edge GenAI technology can be applied to understand why detections are made and how they map to MITRE TTPs.
Sessions hosted by partners
Preventing the emergence of phantom artificial intelligence in the enterprise
Tuesday, September 17, 3:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. | Add to calendar
NVIDIA and CrowdStrike’s collaboration helps organizations integrate GenAI technologies into their end-to-end security operations. Join this session, hosted by NVIDIA’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), to learn how the partnership’s innovative work can help you prevent shadow AI and ensure real-time threat visibility and remediation.
AI-Powered PC Security: New Innovations at the Endpoint Level
Tuesday, September 17, 1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. | Add to calendar
The ability to run deep learning on Intel Core Ultra clients with an NPU will usher in a new wave of cybersecurity innovation. This session from CrowdStrike, Intel, and Dell will demonstrate how deep learning can detect hard-to-detect process injection attacks in memory. Learn how AI innovations at the endpoint can accelerate remediation and reduce the burden on humans to develop correlation or detection rules.
AI-powered security innovations to stop breaches faster
In addition to breakout sessions, CrowdStrike will unveil several new AI innovations at Fal.Con 2024. CrowdStrike partners will also showcase joint AI innovations and groundbreaking research to advance the cybersecurity industry.
