On April 10, Dr. Sarbari Gupta, Electrosoft’s CEO and Founder, joined five other federal cybersecurity experts for a one-hour ATARC educational webinar, “Harnessing Generative AI: Transforming Federal Cybersecurity Programs.” Electrosoft sponsored the event.

With cyber threats becoming more common and sophisticated, many look to Generative AI as a transformative way to enhance cybersecurity functions, including threat detection, vulnerability management, security operations, and compliance activities. However, as a relatively new technology, Generative AI’s benefits and shortcomings are just coming into view.

Panelists discussed the challenges of integrating Generative AI into federal cybersecurity initiatives, sharing specific use cases and pilot projects and the lessons learned to date. The panel also explored risks such as adversarial exploitation, ethical concerns, and data privacy and suggested mitigation techniques. The well-rounded conversation closed with each panelist sharing a key takeaway from the webinar and/or personal experience.

Kiersten Patton, ATARC Consultant, moderated the panelist discussion that included:

   Jennifer R. Franks | Director, Center For Enhanced Cybersecurity, U.S. Government Accountability Office 
   Dave Cantrell | Chief Information Security Officer, BESPIN Software Factory, U.S. Air Force
