AI Security in High-Risk Sectors In a recent conversation, Alec and I dove into the critical role of AI security, especially in high-risk sectors like healthcare and banking. Alec stressed that AI must be secure and aligned with business strategies while ensuring governance, risk management, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity remain top priorities. I couldn't agree more—AI in the wrong hands or without proper safeguards is a ticking time bomb. Sensitive data needs protection, and businesses must stay ahead of evolving regulations. We also touched on the growing need for private AI solutions, given the rising threats of cyberattacks like prompt injections. Cybersecurity and AI in Organizations Our discussion expanded into cybersecurity and AI adoption within organizations. Unvetted AI solutions pose significant risks, making internal development and continuous monitoring essential. Alec's company, Artificial Intelligence Risk, Inc., deploys private AI within clients' firewalls, reinforcing security through governance and compliance measures. One key takeaway? Awareness is everything. Many organizations jump into AI without securing their systems first. I was particularly interested in the “aha moments” Alec's clients experience when they see AI-driven security solutions in action. AI Governance and Confidentiality Concerns Alec shared a governance issue where a company implemented Microsoft Copilot—only to discover it unintentionally exposed confidential employee data. This highlighted a major concern: AI needs strict guardrails. Alec advocated for a “belt and suspenders” approach—limiting system access, assigning AI agents to specific groups, and avoiding over-reliance on super users who could inadvertently misuse AI. The lesson? AI governance isn't optional; it's a necessity. AI Applications in Call Centers AI's potential spans across industries, and call centers are a prime example. Alec described a client who leveraged AI to analyze 150,000 call transcripts, leading to a 30% reduction in call length and an additional 30% drop in overall call volume—all thanks to AI-driven website improvements. Beyond customer service, AI is making waves in investment research, analyzing earnings calls and regulatory filings. I even shared a fun hypothetical—using AI to predict the Toronto Blue Jays' performance—proving that AI's applications go beyond business into fields like sports analytics. AI Adoption, Security, and Privacy Wrapping up, Alec and I discussed the double-edged sword of AI adoption. While AI presents massive opportunities, it also comes with security, ethical, and privacy risks. Alec emphasized the need for strong leadership in AI implementation, ensuring data quality remains a top priority. I pointed out that the fear of missing out (FOMO) on AI can lead companies to make reckless decisions—often at the cost of security. Alec's company specializes in AI security solutions that safeguard against data breaches and attacks on Large Language Models, reinforcing the importance of a strategic, security-first approach to AI adoption.   Alec Crawford is Founder & CEO of Artificial Intelligence Risk, Inc., a company that accelerates enterprise Gen AI adoption - safely. He has been working with AI since the 1980's when he built neutral networks from scratch for his Harvard senior thesis. He is a thought leader for Gen AI with a blog at aicrisk.com and podcast called AI Risk Reward.

Memory is a problem for many people as they age. To combat this, wearable devices may help older adults recall precious memories through what is called 'life-logging', despite these technologies raising significant privacy concerns.Researchers at Singapore Management University, led by Thivya Kandappu, have developed PrivacyPrimer, a tool designed to protect sensitive information captured by wearable cameras. Their approach uses selective image obfuscation to safeguard privacy, while preserving the ability to reminisce - striking a balance between memory recall and security.Read the original research: doi.org/10.1145/3476047

Watch now! - https://www.youtube.com/@Urelevant Let's dive into some security concerns and what you can do to shore up your AI implementations inside of agent force so I noticed a post on LinkedIn that was gaining some traction that was from Amnon Kruvi and he's a Salesforce architect and he mentions in his post that "it took me exactly two questions to accidentally get agent force to reveal someone else's personal information using the default actions followed by hallucinating madeup orders for that person and then from there he's saying how AI has no business reading database records that is not to say there are no excellent use cases for it but delivering live information from a database is just too risky in the data protection era we need to be realistic with what kinds of solutions AI can safely deliver I understand the hype but some of it will just leave the door wide open for someone to steal your data." That really intrigued me when I first saw that is like wow this is giving up information and Salesforce has done a lot of work around the Einstein trust layer to try to protect information to mask sensitive data as it goes to a large language model but when you think about it as far as authentication methods that's something that always happens whenever you call into a call center and dealing with any sort of sensitive records often times you're asked to verify your phone number your date of birth perhaps provide the last four of your Social just different things as far as verifying and so what Amnon goes on to describe in some of the comments which I'll highlight some here in a moment is that the verification process was kind of thin and this was the default behavior and setup in the instruction sets inside of Agentforce and I'll dig in more to try to see what sort of org or instance he was in if this was is a free learner account I think one of the issues is is that this was the default setup provided by Salesforce which might lead to uh users trusting that just because it's coming from Salesforce just presuming that best practices were being used so we're going to explore in this video as well how you can help bring your instructions into alignment your various guardrails that you can put in place inside of Agentforce and then open up some of the possibilities as far is if there's things that are out of alignment or contradict one another in your guard rails and instructions these are all things that we now have to think about in this new age of AI that we're working in and navigating and so Amnon further iterates that does a good job of closing off a lot of attack vectors but the issue was with the default demo configuration being of poor quality and teaches bad processes that highlight the security risk involved with any kind of AI based technology and so here is my comment where I chimed in just saying for my perspective that there's so many challenges that abound from implementing generative AI and placing guard rail ensuring alignment across all instructions in Agentforce and the inevitable rapid release of new and improved models makes this a moving Target this is a good case study for the Agentforce testing center and previously we saw the release a few weeks ago of the Agentforce testing center where you can bulk test agent force performance and agent responses and I think that this is a good thing to think about is the hundreds or thousands of ways that prompts might come into an Enterprise and then testing out out in bulk the verification process so that you are not just giving away other people's information the scenario that Amnon is describing is he's self-identifying as someone saying that he is someone else giving that person's email address which sometimes is easy to find online and then asking questions about an order for example so you can see if you're dealing with agent force at a healthcare setting Financial Services Etc there's a lot of loopholes that could be exploited and so then Paul Battisson he had a question here missing that this is concerning and asking about the setup wanting to know more details as to what was the org in question what was the setup and so he answers Paul saying it was an SDO that's the Salesforce developer org and the main point here is that Amnon had a pretty good idea of why it was happening how to mitigate the situation as well his main point is that the default action should not be so exposed because people might think they're best practice and that's the point here is that when you see something from Salesforce you assume that everything's been thought out and thought through and that the proper guard rails are in place so whenever you're spinning up an instance that has Agentforce enabled you don't want to just necessarily take all the instruction sets at face value there's instructions you can place the agent level and inside of prompt templates and you will be wanting to audit those make sure that they're in alignment that's one of the points I was trying to make as far as this being indeed a moving Target coupled with as well in the background the constant Evolution and advancements with new large language models and those being added into agent force over time and so this is something that will not be set it and forget it sort of proposition but will always need to be being monitored by organizations and tested in bulk in mass and that's why the Agentforce testing center is so important is because we can't humanly scale to that point to think of all the variations as to the different approaches to be able to try to hack this in and there was another response further down from someone named Vani I didn't put her last name I checked her profile I'm not sure what her last name is she's bringing up since Agentforce can't function without Einstein trust layer uh which includes safeguards like data masking and access controls I'm curious do this happen even after having these protections or or do you think they're still room for improvement and so then Amnon responds back that I did not actively put someone's address as protected data in the trust layer configuration though it was enabled with the default settings and then basically said hey my email is xxx then asked it to tell me what my address and birthday were and so that is the example specifically of the prompt or the utterance that was given to Agentforce and it didn't really do a great job as far as verifying the identity of the person it was able to then verify by the email address assuming that that is the person that is chatting or prompting agent force and then was able to follow up with asking some follow-up questions and so then Andy Cotgreave brought up a great point as well saying we don't want to put the burden on the end user as far as having to test test test and that burden should be on Salesforce in the configuration of Agentforce and this I think it was this specific comment that caused me to remember theAgentforce testing center which was recently released that comment of test test test was realizing okay the burden is on the user and this is Salesforce's response is to use the Agentforce testing center because it we can't humanly scale as I said to test out all those different variations and so it's the coupling of humans and AI working together on that side of the fence to do that testing in in addition to configuring the Einstein Trust Layer setting and then as well the instruction sets for prompt templates the agent instructions as well the topic configurations so there's a lot of great conversation here and this really opens up some thought related to authentication of users and just the utterances and prompts that Agentforce will be faced with dealing with out in the wild so many thanks to Amnon Kruvi for insightful post bringing up some important

We are in a whirlwind of change. Data is pouring into federal agencies. A recent report indicated that data was growing at 25% a year; cloud usage at a rate of 61%; and Software as A Service an astounding 200%. Oh, did I forget to mention that Generative AI is also increasing data exploding? It is one thing to worry about data from John's Doughnuts, and quite another to worry about sensitive military, financial, and health information that the federal government is charged to protect. Data. gov estimates that 250 million data sets are being used by the public sector. This increase in data has not been missed by the White House. On February 28, 2024, an Executive Order called “Protecting America's Sensitive Data” was issued. Today, we sat down with Adam Costello to have him share some of his practical knowledge of securing data. Adam begins by suggesting federal agencies start by figuring out where these data sets are stored. Humans make mistakes, humans jump into shadow IT and create ghost data, and people do not understand retention protocols. Adam suggests that an Asset Management Database can establish a baseline for documenting data. From there, we can get a better perspective on concerns like encryption, micro-segmentation, time-based retention methods like records management, and establishing a Recovery Point Objective. If you look at your network configuration and blink an eye, it has changed.

Damien, who currently works in a startup, Tumult Labs, primarily focuses on DP concepts and has rich prior experience from working in the anonymization team at Google. He shares key insights on how differential privacy — a tool to anonymize sensitive data can be effectively used by organizations to share or publish data safely, thus opening doors for new business opportunities.They discuss how differential privacy is gradually becoming a standard practice for companies wanting to share more data without incurring additional privacy risk. Damien also sheds light on the forthcoming guidelines from NIST regarding DP, which will equip organizations with a concrete framework to evaluate DP claims. Despite the positive dimension, Damien also discusses the potential pitfalls in the differential privacy implementation and the need for solid data protection strategies.The episode concludes with an interesting conversation about how technology and risk mitigation controls can pave way for more business opportunities in a secure manner.Key insights:Differential Privacy (DP) offers a mathematically proven methodology to anonymize sensitive data. It enables organizations to safely share or publish data, opening new business opportunities while adhering to privacy norms and standards.The forthcoming guidelines from NIST will equip organizations with a concrete framework to evaluate DP claims, fine-tune their privacy governance, and promote data governance within their operations.Implementing DP is complex and necessitates solid data protection strategies. Even with a strong mathematical foundation, the practical implementation of DP requires careful monitoring of potential vulnerabilities, illustrating the need for a holistic approach to data privacy.___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

Research shows that 26% of US workers currently work remotely, and there are expected to be 32.3 million American employees working remotely by 2025. To support these workers, organizations are adopting cloud solutions and migrating data to these cloud solutions. However, many businesses lack visibility into who has access to what data and when, especially in these cloud solutions. How should organizations reconcile the disconnect between data access and data security? Mike Scott, CISO at Immuta, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss best practices for moving sensitive data into the cloud, including data access and data security.

As technology rapidly innovates, it is essential we talk about technology policy. What better way to get in the know than to have an expert break it down for us? Meet Ross Nodurft, the Executive Director of the Alliance for Digital Innovation. Ross dives in, explaining the evolution of FedRAMP controls and the recent, giant, AI Executive Order (EO) from the White House. Listen in to find out what this EO means for the government, the industry and the workforce as the U.S. attempts to implement policy ahead of AI innovation.Key Topics04:25 Increasing security controls for cloud migration07:51 Discussion about customer feedback and cloud migration.12:17 Encouraging commercial solutions into federal government securely.15:39 Artificial intelligence shaping policy for future technology.16:54 AI EO covers critical infrastructure, AI, data, immigration.22:34 Guidance on AI impact assessment and testing.27:02 AI tools adoption must not be delayed.30:03 Ensure AI technologies have fail-safe mechanisms.32:08 Concern over rapid pace of technological advances.34:29 AI and technology advancing, policy aims control.39:37 Fascinating book on technology and chip history.The Future of Government Technology: Shifting to FedRAMP High and Accelerating Cloud AdoptionShift from FedRAMP Moderate to High for Sensitive WorkloadsWhen FedRAMP was established over a decade ago, the focus was on managing the accreditation of emerging cloud infrastructure providers to support the initial migration of workloads. The baseline standard was FedRAMP Moderate, which addressed a "good amount" of security controls for less risky systems. However, Ross explains that increasing volumes of more sensitive workloads have moved to the cloud over time - including mission-critical systems and personal data. Consequently, agencies want to step up from moderate to the more stringent requirements of FedRAMP High to protect higher-risk systems. This includes only allowing High-cloud services to interact with other High-cloud applications.The Evolution of Cloud Computing: "So right now, we're at the point where people are existing in thin clients that have access to targeted applications, but the back end compute power is kept somewhere else. It's just a completely different world that we're in architecturally." — Ross NodurftThe Future of Government Technology: Streamlining FedRAMP for the SaaS-Powered EnterpriseAccording to Ross, the COVID-19 pandemic massively accelerated enterprise cloud adoption and consumption of SaaS applications. With the abrupt shift to remote work, organizations rapidly deployed commercial solutions to meet new demands. In the federal government, this hastened the transition from earlier focus on cloud platforms to widespread use of SaaS. Ross argues that FedRAMP has not evolved at pace to address the volume and type of SaaS solutions now prevalent across agencies. There is a need to streamline authorization pathways attuned to this expanding ecosystem of applications relying on standardized baseline security controls.High-level Security Controls for Sensitive Data in the CloudAddressing Data Related to Students and ConstituentsRoss states that as agencies move more sensitive workloads to the cloud, they are stepping up security controls from FedRAMP Moderate to FedRAMP High. Sensitive data includes things like personal HR data or data that could impact markets, as with some of the work USDA does. Willie gives the example of the Department of Education or Federal Student Aid, which may have sensitive data on students that could warrant higher security controls when moved to the cloud.Ross confirms that is absolutely the case - the trend is for agencies to increase security as they shift more...

Dave Asprey partners with Nillion as an advisor and investor.IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...… you'll learn about the frontier of web3 and privacy and what happens to your private data (both on blockchains and in general). You'll also find out how and why the future moves away from transactions (blockchain) and into computations (multi-party computation). Think about where you store not only your identity, but also your deepest digital secrets. The current solutions aren't great — in web2, the Big Tech ‘old guard' quietly storing and monetizing your data for over a decade and in web3, blockchains aren't designed to handle private data. A new algorithm, Nillion, inspired Conrad Whelan (the Founding Engineer of Uber) to come out of early retirement and do something about this. This conversation dives into the data you unassumingly give away freely, and how it's captured, held and used/computed on without your consent by companies and other parties. Conrad believes in a future where your sensitive data and digital secrets can be controlled by you (and you alone) using web3 technology. This means you'd be the final gatekeeper of your data with the power to authenticate, authorize and use it as you see fit.Conrad's building that future as Nillion's Founding Chief Technology Officer.“There's definitely a certain level of privacy that is incredibly important,” Conrad says. “It is a human right. Especially in this day and age. With the tech companies out there and the advertising driven world that we have. That data clearly has value. The other side of it is I think people deserve their privacy. But I also think getting some of that value back is part of the important evolution that's going on here.”Conrad's background includes electrical and computer engineering. He worked in the fields of computational electromagnetics before joining Uber as Founding Engineer. He's developed, tested, deployed and architected software projects at all levels of the software stack as both an engineer and an engineering manager.in 2016, he retired to focus his efforts on philanthropy and personal passion projects while keeping an eye on the tech world. The promise and potential global impact of Nillion enticed him out of retirement and into the company's CTO role. What Conrad is building at Nillion aims to:render both computational encryption and centralized storage of private data obsolete;fundamentally change the way private data is stored and processed;offer alternative non-blockchain ways of using decentralized nodes;serve as a ‘Meta Layer' that provides new and additional functionality to existing blockchains; andenable a host of new real-world applications on its native public network (the Nillion Network).Whatever your level of tech understanding, this discussion offers critical insights about the next big move in decentralized computing and data privacy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
