2024 Session Info

Demystifying Generative AI With Everyday Applications

Ben Udell, SVP Digital Innovation, Lake Ridge Bank
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears to be taking over the financial world. Not knowing where to start, or even how generative AI like ChatGPT can impact your bank, has kept many organizations on the sideline. We’ll demystify key risks such as bias, factual info, and privacy while sharing insights on how to start a pilot program. You’ll learn how to craft effective prompts, the language of AI, and see ChatGPT in action with relevant everyday applications you and your team can start to implement immediately. Generative AI will help you and your team work more productively and creatively leading to greater success.

Benefits & Risks of Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Financial Institutions

Scott Stevens, Chief Information Security Officer, Integrity Technology Solutions
There are a lot of questions surrounding AI. Can it promote efficiency in our workflow? Is it safe to use? Does AI produce accurate results? Better yet, what are the compliance requirements and what are the best ways to protect sensitive information? In this session, Scott Stevens, Integrity Technology Solutions Chief Information Security Officer will guide you through a high-level tour of artificial intelligence and the most common business applications and tools being used. Scott will also talk about the responsibilities at the executive level related to policies, procedures, security, and risk mitigation. This session is largely non-technical and appropriate for executive level leadership as well as high-level IT leadership and compliance officers.

Attackers vs Defenders

Mishaal Khan and Matt Cox, vCISO and Director of Internal Systems and Security, Mindsight
Watch this exciting role-play as two highly motivated cybersecurity experts battle it out with their egos at stake, with one trying to launch attacks at every layer of security and the other finding creative ways to block them. You will leave this event knowing the various attack methods that can be used and the defenses that you can implement to stop them. More importantly, you will learn a structured approach to prioritizing and managing risk. Conversations will include clever attacks and defensive methods for phishing, malware, physical and phone-based social engineering, zero-day attacks, deleting logs, data exfiltration, and MFA bypass, to name a few. The methods may be technical but the conversations will be kept at a high level to encourage engagement from everyone involved.
• Understand the various attack methods that cybercriminals use.
• Learn the defenses that can be implemented to stop attacks.
• Ask questions of the experts

The Emergence of Non-Traditional Competitors in the Financial Services Industry: Disruptors Redefining The Banking Landscape

Larry Pruss, Senior Vice President, Strategic Resource Management
Examine how innovative players such as neobanks, fintech platforms, and insurtech companies are reshaping the financial services sector. This session highlights the impact of technological advancements and changing consumer preferences that have accelerated the rise of these disruptors, challenging traditional banking models. Attendees will gain insights into the strategies that established banks must adopt to remain competitive, including embracing digital transformation and fostering a culture of innovation. Developments in Payments – Getting to Instant, Open and Safe
