Respondent Quotes
“AI is used in [our] underwriting processes to more precisely analyze risks.
Predictive analytics and machine learning models can examine a variety
of data sources to assess policyholder risk, enhancing decision-making
and lowering risk exposure.”
“To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, [we] employ AI algorithms for
safe client authentication, such as evaluating behavioral biometrics or
detecting patterns of valid transactions.”
“Cybersecurity education and training should be strengthened to
improve the awareness and ability of AI security and the safe and
compliant use of AI.”

Focusing on strict federal security standards, Ken has consulted with numerous federal organizations, including Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Census Bureau. He was previously board chair of The Mars Generation’s Student Space Ambassador Leadership Program, an advisory board made up of students and professional mentors focused on STEAM learning and advocacy. His technical career started in the defense sector as a quality assurance and information assurance engineer contracted with the DISA Defense Message System (DMS), eventually designing the top-level architecture of the Host-Based Security System (HBSS) integration for the DMS global messaging backbone. Ken has presented at industry conferences with his research on early warning of cyber-attacks based on open source intelligence (OSINT). © 2024 Enterprise Management Associates, Inc. 3 Ken Buckler, CASP Research Director Information Security, Risk, and Compliance Enterprise Management Associates (EMA)

While the Mechanical Turk was ultimately a hoax, today’s “generative” artificial intelligence based on pretrained models is very real, often providing analytical and creative power at least equal to, or sometimes more powerful than, that of humans…but with great power comes great responsibility.

A substantial percentage of organizations recognize the critical role of AI in shaping the future of information security and cyber threat intelligence. The rise of AI-powered attacks, including phishing, business email compromise, and even AI- powered malware, poses a growing concern. Fortunately for humans, the Mechanical Turk is still not a reality and we aren’t going to be replaced anytime soon. | @ema_research 25
