Recently, Kaspersky held a conference titled "Deus Ex Machina: Setting Secure Directives for Smart Machines". Media from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region attended this event, which aimed to discuss and explore overlapping sections of the AI industry and the future of cybersecurity.
At the event, Kaspersky introduced a new concept coined "Cyber Immunity". According to the company, it implies that " the overwhelming majority of cyberattack types are ine?ective and cannot a?ect a system's critical functions in the usage scenarios specified at the design stage". The concept was recently trademarked in the US and European Union, and it describes a "secure-by-design system that enables solutions virtually impossible to compromise and minimise the number of potential vulnerabilities".
Security against AI is important because of how accessible AI has become. Of course, AI has proven to be a powerful tool for cybersecurity and can disrupt global industries. However, cybercriminals also can use AI tools like ChatGPT to enact phishing or malware attacks. The conference was held in APAC because the region is considered the forefront of the AI revolution, and spending on AI is expected to increase to USD 18.6 billion (~RM86.30) by 2026.
