In April, I had the opportunity to attend RSA Conference 2023 in San Francisco. RSA Conference<\/a> (RSAC for short) is an annual convention, exhibition, and gathering place for cybersecurity practitioners. Named after cryptographers Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman, RSA Conference has expanded to cover a wide range of information security topics. This year was the 32nd annual RSAC event.<\/p>\n I attended as many keynotes and talks as I could, and browsed the expo halls and booths. As always, my focus was to find the things that were most relevant to the Apple ecosystem.<\/p>\n Here are my top takeaways from RSA Conference 2023.<\/p>\n In this article:<\/em><\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, much of the conversation at RSAC this year revolved around artificial intelligence (AI). Since the public launch of ChatGPT<\/a> in November, and with other technologies like Midjourney<\/a> making a big splash, everyone wants to know how AI could hinder or help the cybersecurity space.<\/p>\n One of the most important annual presentations was the SANS Institute panel, “The Five Most Dangerous New Attack Techniques<\/a>.” One of the presenters this year was Stephen Sims, who focuses on offensive operations. Sims emphasized how AI and machine learning (ML) can be used from an attacker’s perspective. Since ChatGPT’s public release, Sims has been experimenting with using it to find zero-day vulnerabilities and to write malware.<\/p>\n\n
