Imagine a world where security engineers weren't inundated with thousands of issues/bugs across dozens of categories every day. Hardik Mehta, Head of Cyber Risk Management at Uber, and his team no longer have to just imagine that world -- they've made it their reality with Project Matterhorn — a Generative AI-powered program that is taking the number of issues from 200k+ across 21 types to just 20k across only 2 types.
In this session, Hardik will share how Project Matterhorn is leveraging GenAI to:

Cybersecurity is more than just technology; it’s about managing risks in a business context. Today’s interconnected landscape broadens the risk surface, encompassing cyber threats, operational disruptions, and financial losses across all enterprise levels. CISOs are challenged with fragmented security solutions and siloed strategies, which hinder effective risk management programs.

Cryptography touches every corner of the digital world, and it is at risk of decryption from cybercriminals launching “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. NIST announced three encryption algorithm standards in August 2024, which the U.S. government is pressed to adopt by 2035. Businesses must start evaluating their systems now, as a system-wide transition to quantum-safe protocols will be complex and time-consuming.

Generative AI is being utilized by companies and employees alike–sometimes without permission. The normalization of this emerging technology has expanded the attack surface and left many security leaders feeling anxious and uncertain.

In the age of remote and hybrid work, employees now spend the majority of their time in the browser or in virtual meetings. The workforce is more mobile and distributed than ever before. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in cyber attacks and a higher average cost of data breaches. We must think more about protecting users right where they interface with web threats, the browser, without disrupting productivity.

Third party relationships are closest and may prove to be the most tangible risks to your business, yet the whole supply chain of your business partners still pose a substantial threat. Most organizations’ vendor relationships extend to the 8th party. CISOs need to understand this web of connectedness in order to better manage and communicate enterprise risk.

You’ve heard it all before: the DBIR tells you people are your biggest risk, phishing simulations tell you your users fall for social engineering, and simple security measures you deploy are sometimes met with howls of protest. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

In today's complex regulatory environment, CISOs must navigate various categories of global trust, such as demographic and ethnographic factors, which influence compliance and governance decisions. Establishing and maintaining trust requires not only defining a clear position but also providing consistent evidence to support compliance claims. How can leaders connect the dots of governance across different countries and organizations effectively to enhance compliance and operational efficiency?
