#1715477: "Navigating the AI Race: The Current State of AI Compliance and Supply Chain Security"
| Description: |
As artificial intelligence becomes the largest consumer of APIs and a critical driver of innovation, it simultaneously exposes organizations to unprecedented compliance, security, and geopolitical risks. In this webinar, we uncover the opaque "black boxes" of the global AI race condition and explore how nations are influencing AI and tech development through embedded backdoors, censorship, and supply chain vulnerabilities. From neural trojan sabotage to LLM model poisoning, attacks are rapidly evolving. Join Chuck Herrin, Field CISO at F5, and Corey Ball, Founder and CEO of hAPI Labs, as they dissect the framings for "defensible AI" to navigate the competing priorities of regulation, security, and innovation. Discover actionable strategies for mitigating risks, including layered AI application security, observability, and implementing defenses informed by an attacker’s mindset. Whether you're grappling with AI compliance mandates, securing the software supply chain, or future-proofing your AI systems, this session will help you stay competitive without compromising trust or control. Prepare to face the next evolution of the attack surface at the intersection of AI, APIs, geopolitics, and post-quantum threats. Speakers: Corey J. Ball, Founder and CEO, hAPI Labs Corey J.
