EJ Pappas

By EJ PappasField Chief Technology Officer and Managing Director of Strategic Accounts at PKWARE

Dig into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) /Machine Learning intersects with cybersecurity. They will highlight recent breaches that have reshaped our understanding of data security. The mainframe often considered the backbone of enterprise computing, faces unique challenges in this era of advanced AI threats and opportunities. We will start by examining recent high-profile cybersecurity incidents, analyzing how AI techniques were used in these breaches, and the downstream implications for sensitive mainframe data. In this ever-evolving landscape of AI in cybersecurity, we will focus on both the adversarial use of AI in crafting attacks and the defensive potential of AI in detecting and mitigating threats.

Walk away from this session with a deep understanding of:

  • AI-driven security tools and their integration into mainframe ecosystems
  • Challenges of implementing AI solutions without compromising the mainframe’s integrity
  • Strategic insights into preparing for the next wave of AI-related cybersecurity challenges

We will emphasize the need for the mainframe community to adopt a proactive approach to security, incorporating advanced AI tools without sacrificing the tried-and-true strengths of mainframe systems.
