Securing the Digital Frontier: Proactive Bias Mitigation Against AI's Unseen Vulnerabilities in Cybersecurity
Mina Movahedi Shakib

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized cybersecurity by enhancing threat detection and response capabilities. However, the presence of bias in AI systems poses significant challenges, potentially undermining the accuracy and fairness of cybersecurity measures. This presentation explores comprehensive initiatives aimed at mitigating AI bias in cybersecurity.

I examine the root causes of bias, including biased training data and algorithmic design flaws, and discuss the implications of biased threat detection, such as false positives and negatives, through real-world examples. Additionally, I address the issues of targeted surveillance, where certain user groups might be disproportionately monitored, and data-driven vulnerabilities that can result from biased training data.

Key topics include securing the gap in AI bias security, the importance of diverse and representative training data, strategies for algorithmic fairness, and the use of open-source bias detection tools. I also emphasize the importance of human oversight, principles of ethical AI governance, and the necessity of continuous monitoring. Furthermore, the presentation will delve into the ripple effects of AI bias, including vulnerabilities created by biased systems and the potential for adversarial exploitation. By bridging the gap in AI bias, I aim to enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, ultimately contributing to a more secure digital landscape.

Join me to gain insights into the importance of AI bias, learn from practical examples, and discover how you can contribute to mitigating and addressing biases in your incident response processes.
