AI Powered BladeRunners: The Role of AI in Implementing Zero Trust

Embark on a cybernetic journey with Ismael Valenzuela and Greg Scheidel, as they draw inspiration from the iconic Blade Runner universe featured in SANS Security 530, to explore the role of Generative AI, Machine Learning (ML), and Natural Language Processing (NLP), in establishing a robust Zero Trust architecture.
In this webinar, you will use a Blade Runner’s favorite lifecycle, the DARIOM model-Discover, Assess, Re-Design, Implement, Operate, and Monitor-as a lens to examine how current AI technologies can be employed to enhance each phase. From the relentless pursuit of rogue replicants through threat modeling, to continuous adaptive risk assessment, this session will provide a unique perspective on how these technologies can be integrated into a comprehensive Zero Trust strategy, ensuring an adaptable and resilient defense mechanism against evolving cyber threats.
