Ari Mahairas and Peter Beshar have built a relationship educating the public sector and industry about the risks of cyber attacks.
Speaking over the phone from New York, the pair focused on how AI and 5G will create an explosion in cybersecurity risks over the coming years, which law enforcement and companies will need to grapple with.This FBI agent says terrorists are plotting to wipe out the 911 emergency system in an attack 'only limited by your imagination'
When we think about it in terms of the industrial control systems, in SCADA , obviously it creates another vulnerability. They're estimating about five hundred million devices connected via 5G. But I think that's going to grow as well. And this is the reason why we've seen historically dumb devices being converted to smart devices.
Now with all that information and the data going through these data pipes, there's a lot of information there are privacy issues associated with that security issues associated with that. So that's always our concern from a security perspective. But we also recognize that it's going to provide a lot of opportunities to sort of monetize that information efficiently. And I think that's where AI comes in.: Most people think sword, shield.
One of the concerns is when we're looking at the information especially the possibility of manipulation of integrity, the whole concept of garbage in garbage out. Then we can see how the platforms, the AI platforms, could potentially yield bad decisions based on bad information coming in. So although the AI itself might be compromised, though that is a possibility, the easiest example is compromising the information on which the AI relies so that the output is bad.
The hackers are quite astute at the second step of this, which is their obviously override systems and safety shut off systems and they use software, again the software the names are instructive, Crash Override for example, where they basically figured out how to disable the safety or shut off valve system — and those are examples in the Middle East.
JK: There are very serious conversations going on America and across the world indeed about how Huawei contributes to 5G networks.
And so part of I think what Ari and the Bureau are doing so effectively is being this engaging actor, as opposed to the traditional law enforcement role. Of really having a significant part of their mandate be reaching out into the business community. JK: Does Brexit worry you in that regard that the UK might be a bit more cut off in terms of sharing intelligence?JK: There's been a lot of talk about encryption recently and many companies are looking at increasing encryption and making sure that messages remain private between different users. Is that something you consider a good thing?: My position with regard to encryption hasn't changed over the years. Personally and professionally, we in the FBI are in favor of encryption.
