Epitome Keynote – Safety and Security of Artificial Intelligence

It seems that we are about to introduce a superior intelligence into our own biosphere. This sounds like a basic evolutionary mistake.

  • As we’re building more intelligent systems, how do we make sure they are secure?
  • What are the implications to cyber defenders – and to attackers? 
  • How do we make AI safe, secure, and aligned to our goals?

Digital Trust: Preparing for tomorrow’s threats, today

How do you manage trust?

Digital trust is what enables individuals and businesses to engage online with confidence that their footprint in a digital world is secure.

With digital transformation expanding the use cases for PKI trust has now become the backbone for security in the connected world: for securing users, software, servers, devices, digital content, documents, digital rights, identity and more.

Digital trust is about more than a product or service. It is established upon four key building blocks:

  • Industry and technology standards that define what constitutes trust
  • Compliance and operations that govern delivery of trust
  • Unified trust management platforms for certificate lifecycle management of public and private trust
  • Extension of trust through ecosystems such as connected devices, software supply chains and digital content provenance.

As the digital world continues to grow and change, innovating solutions in the cybersecurity space becomes more important for providers of digital trust and the people who count on them to stay securely connected. Powerful technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to propel the connected world forward—but in the wrong hands, their dangers are undeniable.

That’s why innovation areas like machine learning and AI, quantum encryption, cryptography, and IoT security are key areas of focus.

How can you prepare for the PQC era?

Solution: PKI Reimagined DigiCert ONE is a modern, holistic approach to PKI management. Based on an advanced, container-based design, DigiCert ONE allows you to rapidly deploy in any environment, roll out new services in a fraction of the time, and manage users and devices across your organisation at any scale.
