ChatGPT takes #AskMeAnything to a whole new level. Now, anyone with an Internet connection has free access to one of the most powerful AI tools we’ve seen in the open market.

While for many ChatGPT is a tool for good (efficiency, creativity), it can be just as easily spell disaster for business cybersecurity defense.

Most IT and cybersecurity leaders have not begun considering the hostile use of AI, let alone allocating budget for defenses against it.  But cybersecurity researchers are watching closely as ChatGPT and similar AI tools lower the technical requirements needed to successfully complete ransomware and other cyberattacks.

Ransomware is the leading cyberthreat to businesses, inflicting costly data theft and downtime on companies of every size. Criminals have gotten more effective in widely distributing their malware widely and getting victims to pay with new pressure tactics.

This webinar will dig into the ways criminals are projected to take advantage of ChatGPT and other AI tools to improve the reach and effectiveness of their ransomware attacks. The session will conclude with a review of a 12-step plan that businesses can use to improve their active defenses as well as their mitigation of and recovery from successful ransomware attacks — both conventional and AI-enabled.

Seating is limited, so register now. You don’t want to miss out on this event!

We hope to see you there!
