HASBAT Quarterly Training

AI Fueled Cyber Targeting

Before the March Membership Meeting, HASBAT is diving straight into one of the fastest-growing threats facing our industry: AI-driven cyber targeting.

Joe Parker, CISSP with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency will kick things off with a look at how artificial intelligence is being used to identify and target individuals and organizations. He’ll even walk through a quick demo using a LinkedIn profile to show how easily public information can be leveraged.

Then Thomas A. Valentine, Jr. from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency Huntsville Field Office will connect the dots with insights on state-sponsored targeting and what it means for our defense community.

If you think your organization is too small to be noticed, think again. Come early. Stay informed. Protect your team.
