| eShore (Cayman) Ltd has announced the return of the ArmourExpo technology showcase tour which touches down in Cayman October 18th. The conference is coming back to the region with a crucial cautionary message for all businesses. The organizers of ArmourExpo have expressed concerns about the significant security risks posed by AI-powered cyber threats. Common AI tools, such as ChatGPT, present a clear and present danger to businesses, especially those with commercially sensitive or proprietary information across sectors ranging from Government and Finance to IT and Retail. |
| Ken Bodnar, a popular presenter at previous ArmourExpo conferences, will return to the 2023 series of events to discuss the ‘Ten Major Cybersecurity Risks of ChatGPT.’ |
| The rotation of three roadshow days is scheduled to take place in the Bahamas, Cayman, and Jamaica on the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of October 16th, 18th, and 20th, respectively. |
| This popular eShore networking event aims to bring together a distinguished panel of vendor experts to discuss information security topics in areas such as Identity Management, the importance of offshore operations, and key challenges faced by executive boards and IT communities alike. Moreover, the events will delve into groundbreaking advances in FinTech, AI, and cloud-connected technologies. |
| Bodnar emphasizes, “Cybersecurity has long been a critical challenge for businesses. However, in the past year, it has evolved into a new threat vector with the emergence of easily accessible Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT. It is crucial that we reorient our thinking about AI technology, as it serves as a double-edged sword with a dangerous side that adds a new dimension to cyber threats. This makes it easier than ever for cybercriminals to target individuals and businesses. The impact of a single unwary click can lead to catastrophic loss of sensitive data or a system breach, which can paralyze a business.” |
| Polly Pickering, Managing Director of eShore (Cayman), spoke about the ArmourExpo Caribbean Roadshow objectives. “We enjoy providing attendees a face-to-face opportunity to explore the latest advances in technology and security strategies. Ken Bodnar’s keynote address will undoubtedly be a highlight of the conference. His extensive knowledge and practical experience in emergent technology, spanning Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Technical Architecture, and Blockchain, make him the ideal choice to educate and inspire participants.” |
| ArmourExpo brings together leaders, innovators, and experts from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in technology and security. The focus is on empowering organizations to proactively mitigate risks, embrace modernization, and foster a culture of cyber-awareness. |
| Pickering added, “In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity is no longer limited to the realm of Chief Information Security Officers or specialist cyber staff, it affects anyone with fiduciary responsibility within their organization. Therefore, it is crucial that organizations of all sizes, from SMEs to multinationals, arm themselves with the latest information to minimize the risk of falling prey to cyber-attacks.” |
