  • AI in Cybersecurity: New Threats, Stronger Defense?

    AI in Cybersecurity: New Threats, Stronger Defense?
    Nov 29 2023
    Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the game for cybersecurity professionals. On one hand, cybercriminals are using AI to create new ways of cyber threats and gain access to sensitive information. On the other hand, AI can be used for defense to predict and prevent cyberattacks before they happen. In this podcast, we explore the complex relationship between AI and cybersecurity and the opportunities and risks associated with it. Dr. Andreas Kind, Vice President for Cybersecurity & Trust at Siemens AG, and Andreas Kleinschmidt discuss the vulnerabilities and risks associated with AI being used for attacks, including the prompt injection of manipulated data and the insecure handling of information. But they also examine the opportunities for defenders, such as penetration testing and using AI for defense and to prevent cyberattacks.Plus, you get to know one similarity between soccer and cybersecurityTune in and discover the head-to-head race between good and bad guys and how AI is influencing the digital transformation of the cybersecurity industry.

  • Staying safe: How to combat growing cyberthreats

    Staying safe: How to combat growing cyberthreats
    Oct 10 2022
    December 9, 2021, is a day that is etched into Natalia Oropeza’s memory. It all started with some initial reports of a dangerous security vulnerability known as Log4j. The following days were shaped by a race against hackers who were determined to exploit this vulnerability that particularly affected OT and critical infrastructure around the world. The Siemens’ Chief Cybersecurity Officer explains in our podcast series “Securing Digitalization” just how a Siemens task force was able to avert a disaster. Even though the team won the race, Oropeza still sees room for improvement. For instance, she says cybersecurity should be integrated into all links in supply chains – work that Siemens is actively doing as part of the Charter of Trust. Nonetheless, she thinks that Siemens is well positioned: Cybersecurity is an integral part of the new Siemens Xcelerator platform and will be built into many Siemens products.

    Perfect fit and proven: Cybersecurity for Industry
    Sep 27 2022
    The threat of cyberattacks is growing – and many companies are ill-prepared to address the cyberrisks they face. “The number of cyberattacks is constantly increasing,” warns Michael Metzler (VP Horizontal Management Cybersecurity). The topic of IT and OT convergence is another major challenge that our customers must overcome. Siemens is a leader in cybersecurity products and services and can provide the expertise that customers need. In our podcast series, Michael Metzler describes how the Horizontal Team draws on Digital Industries’ portfolio to create a secure overall solution for customers.In an interview with Andreas Kleinschmidt, the expert explains what customers can expect from Siemens DI in terms of cybersecurity.

  • Being a little paranoid: Cryptography in times of Quantum Computers

    Being a little paranoid: Cryptography in times of Quantum Computers
    Aug 3 2022
    Cryptographically relevant quantum computers are still a pipe dream. But security experts can already assure us that once these super computers are up and running, they’ll be able to effortlessly slip past today’s encryption mechanisms. But there’s no need to worry just yet, say Hans Aschauer and Fabrizio De Santis in the latest installment of our cybersecurity podcast. The cryptography experts from Siemens’ corporate research organization are working on encryption systems that even quantum computers will be unable to crack. They are also supporting the development of practical standards and methods to deploy quantum-safe encryption to Siemens products during this post-quantum era. And they’re working as quickly as possible to ensure that today’s data will remain secure tomorrow.
