The Entangled Defense: Cultivating Resilience in the Age of AI by Amanda Hartle

Presentation Description

This talk explores how we can use this principle to build resilient digital ecosystems that can adapt to new challenges. We’ll explore a real-world incident where a modern threat taught us a profound lesson about trust and communication.

This isn’t a lecture on fear; it’s a positive, biomimetic guide to building digital resilience. We will look at how an attack, which mimicked natural systems to find a point of entry, can teach us how to build a defense that mirrors the very same natural patterns. We’ll explore how to cultivate redundancy and diversity in our security, and leverage a collective intelligence to help our systems flourish and thrive, even in a complex world.

Come learn how to transform a security challenge into a catalyst for growth and harmony.
