ISACA Tulsa Chapter

Join Tulsa ISACA for an insightful discussion on the risks of Generative AI. Vladimir Fedotov, Security Architect at EPAM, will explore security challenges associated with integrating Generative AI into applications, focusing on the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern. He will delve into practical attack scenarios, including how malicious actors can manipulate AI systems through contaminated data sources and indirect prompt injection, and demonstrate defensive strategies along with their potential limitations. The content will be instrumental for architects and security experts working with GenAI applications to implement justifiable security controls. Date: 3/12/25 10AM Central Time Speaker Bio: Vlad Fedotov is a Security Architect at EPAM, leading the company's Gen AI security research. With a strong background in application security, enterprise threat modeling, and Secure SDLC, he has worked across industries such as telecom, technology, and manufacturing. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the evolving security landscape of Generative AI! https://lnkd.in/g2PwQUWY

Please remember ISACA Tulsa is hosting a webinar today, 3-4 CT, on Quantum Computing risk. Please feel free to join if you have the time and interest.

Please join ISACA Tulsa as we discuss the emerging risks of Quantum Computing with Carl Dukatz. Public Key Encryption is based on the concept that factoring large enough numbers can’t be done by digital computers. But quantum computers will be able to factor any size number creating a substantial threat to cryptography. This means that we will need to have developed a different way to keep and share secrets before the advent of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer. There have been recently standardize algorithms which can replace current cryptography to secure systems and infrastructure against quantum computers. In this session we’ll discuss the details of this problem, the prospective timelines for implementing protections, the algorithms and how they can be applied, and demonstrate the new technologies working live today. Carl Dukatz is a Managing Director at Accenture currently leading Next Generation Compute. His team of quantum information scientists, operational researchers, and cyber security experts work on challenging problems businesses face today to both advance their capabilities with new compute as well as protect against new threats introduced by increased computational power. He is the Vice-Chair of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium Quantum Use Cases Technical Advisory Committee, with leadership in quantum computing, communications, and sensing. Carl has worked cross industry within public and private sector to improve cyber security through threat and vulnerability management programs. He is an Accenture Certified Senior Technology Architect and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

I had the pleasure of hosting Funmi Omoliki, #Cloud Strategist/Sr Data & AI Specialist at Microsoft, as the guest speaker at ISACA Tulsa Chapter AGM/Luncheon where she shared on " Accelerating Enterprise #AI Adoption". Drawing on her experience partnering with enterprise organizations across the United States, Funmi Omoliki emphasized the importance of aligning #AI Objectives with strategic priorities such as productivity and product innovation; and building governance and security into AI infrastructure. Funmi also discussed use case prioritization using the FART matrix - Feasibility, Ability to measure, #Risk and Time to implement. She noted that the companies reaping the most success with #scalingAI are those using AI for better productivity and product innovation. #EnterpriseAI #AIAdoption #ISACATulsaChapter #Microsoft #CloudStrategist #DataSpecialist #AISpecialist

Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking with the tech professionals and thought leaders of ISACA Tulsa Chapter on the topic of Accelerating AI Adoption. We delved into the challenges and opportunities of implementing AI at scale, explored real-world examples, and discussed strategies for overcoming common barriers. Engaging in such a dynamic conversation was a great reminder of how rapidly AI is evolving and the importance of staying ahead of the curve. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important dialogue and look forward to continuing these discussions in the future! Thank you Ayomipojojo Ogunbanwo and ISACA Tulsa Chapter for hosting me.  #ArtificialIntelligence #ISACA #ResponsibleAI
