When Trust Has No Security: AI Risks Everything
About This Session
Organizations are deploying AI systems that are fully compliant :SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, ect and are still fully exposed. This talk dismantles the illusion that traditional security controls and compliance frameworks protect AI models, walking through a real-world attack chain that compromises a healthcare AI assistant in under two hours through nothing more than a hidden prompt injection.
Drawing on universal jailbreak techniques that bypass safety alignment across every major LLM, Harkins introduces the "Irrefutable Laws of Securing AI" and the 9-Box of AI Trust & Security framework, reframing the problem from probabilistic risk to deterministic exposure: if a model is exploitable, compromise is a matter of when, not if.
Attendees will leave with an understanding for closing the gap between AI that is well built, well run, and genuinely trustworthy.
