SUMMARY:Cyber Security – Defending Government in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Frontier AI models found hundreds of unknown vulnerabilities across government systems.

SUMMARY:Security Profession Masterclass: Language models to AI agents: Capabilities\, autonomy and cyber security
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Dr Andrew Duncan will provide an accessible introduction to how modern large language models work and how they are developed. He will then look at the emergence of AI agents: systems that place language models inside a larger loop involving memory\, tools\, external information and the ability to take actions. The aim is to provide an understanding of what these systems can and cannot do\, and where their capability and characteristic limitations come from. \nThis will be followed by a presentation of case studies focused on how agentic AI systems can be employed in the context of cyber-security. In light of recent events\, it is clear how greater autonomy changes the capabilities and risks of AI systems\, and how AI agents can create new security challenges when connected to sensitive data and privileged tools. \nWhether you are a senior Security or Operational Manager making high-stakes decisions or building your career in the Civil Service\, this session will give you the clarity to make the right call every time. \nEvent details\n\nDate: Wednesday\, 25 November\nTime: 10AM to 11AM\nWhere: Online\, MS Teams\nRegistration: Sign up on Eventbrite\n\nWho can attend\nOnly civil servants with a .gov email address or a confirmed Arm’s Length Body (ALB) domain can sign up and join the session. \nData privacy\nFor information on how your data will be managed\, see the Cabinet Office data privacy notice and official platform recording guidance \nWe look forward to seeing you at the masterclass – please spread the word and share this event with your security colleagues. \nGovernment Security Profession Team
