Approved Session

1. Machine Learning Models for Security Applications

Objective of the Session :

This special session is required to explore the different security aspects involved for machine learning applications. There are numerous machine learning models but the concern is how to protect and secure the data used in these models. Machine learning detects threats by
constantly monitoring the behavior of the network for anomalies. Machine learning engines process massive amounts of data in near real time to discover critical incidents. It can predict “bad neighborhoods” online to help prevent people from connecting to malicious websites.
Algorithms can detect never-before-seen malware that is trying to run on endpoints. It can protect data stored in the cloud. Detection of malware in encrypted traffic in common network telemetry is required. Security includes data security, model security, deployment
security and the risks involved due to human factors. Machine learning systems are vulnerable to a variety of dangers. These include model theft, system hijacking, data poisoning, and evasion attacks. Hence the need of the hour is to build machine learning
models that are secure.

6. Emerging Technology Dimension &  Applications

Objective of the Session :

In today’s transformative business environment, emerging technology has a decisive role to play in an organization’s innovations, customer experience, and overall success. While business leaders have the greatest insight about the organization’s needs and objectives (and likely have new ideas on how to achieve those objectives), the CIO has the greatest knowledge of what is possible along with an understanding of emerging technologies and how they can be used. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), augmented reality (AR), the Internet of Things (IoT) and quantum computing can help organizations scale on demand, improve resiliency, minimize infrastructure investments, and deploy solutions rapidly and securely. These technologies can help companies create powerful transformations to drive revenue and outshine the competition. Combining the insights of business leaders with the technical expertise of the CIO leads to synergistic decision-making that differentiates organizations and brings prized marketplace disruption.
