Prof. Ts. Dr. Noor Afiza Mat Razali, Associate Professor, Defence Science and Technology Faculty at the National Defence University of Malaysia   Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity by providing advanced tools with advanced machine learning and deep learning strategies to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Despite AI's growing importance, women remain underrepresented in cybersecurity roles, which limits the diversity of perspectives necessary for innovative problem-solving. The demand for AI and cybersecurity professionals creates a pivotal moment to address this gender gap by encouraging more women to enter and excel in these fields. However, women often face barriers such as gender bias, underrepresentation, work-life balance issues, and networking gaps. Overcoming these obstacles requires targeted educational programs, mentorship and industry initiatives focused on diversity and inclusion.  Let's discuss more about the opportunities and challenges!   Essential IT Risk Management Practices for Philippine Banks Speaker: Jeia Tirante, ⁠IT Risk Management Head (a financial organization)•, ⁠⁠WiSAP Technical Committee Expert & ⁠Senior Lecturer (University of the Philippines - Technology Management Center)   Information Technology as a competitive advantage for Philippine Banks has become a must-have.  Managing the risks associated with ownership, adoption, and operation of IT is important for all industries, especially financial organization.  This session will focus on the fundamentals of IT Risk Management for Philippine Banks covering the following areas: -  IT risk management system -  Information security standards and guidelines -  Project management, acquisition, and change management standards and guidelines -  IT Operations standards and guidelines -  IT Outsourcing standards and guidelines -  Reporting and notification standards   Date: 5 September 2024, Wednesday Time: 3PM – 5PM (SGT) Venue: Zoom Registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/7217243795901/WN_BQ9X8adGSvasmw5FY8El_g
