Jane Lo, MySecurity Media Singapore Correspondent sat down with Syed Ubaid Ali Jafri, Head of Cyber Defense and Offensive Security at Habib Bank Limited (HBL), at Tech Week Singapore, to get his insights on the sophistication of these threats. We delved into:

Motivations for Attacks on Financial Institutions:

• Financial gain and data exploitation are prime motivations behind phishing and cyber attacks targeting banks. Attackers seek customer data, card details, and account balances, which they can use to extort or sell for profit.
• Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to their reputational concerns, leading some to pay ransoms to protect customer privacy.

Increasing Accessibility of Cybercrime Tools:

• Advanced phishing tools, previously available only on the dark web, are now accessible on the surface web, enabling even less-skilled cybercriminals to launch attacks.
• With the rise of AI, non-experts can craft convincing phishing emails, bypassing traditional spam filters and reaching unsuspecting targets.

Role of AI in Sophisticated Cyber Attacks:

• Gen AI and voice cloning technology make phishing more personalized and convincing, allowing attackers to craft emails and messages that mimic the target’s language and communication style.
• The evolution from simple phishing to sophisticated voice and deepfake attacks was also highlighted, showing how AI can now be used to clone voices and create realistic fake videos with as few as 15 images.

Challenges in Detecting AI-Driven Phishing and Deepfake Attacks:

• Deepfake technology makes it challenging for the average user to distinguish between real and fake communications. Convincing voice and video deepfakes are increasingly used in spear-phishing, targeting specific individuals with tailored scams.
• AI-powered tools generate flawless text, removing traditional phishing indicators like spelling errors or urgency cues, which previously helped users identify phishing emails.

Recommendations for Protection:

• Users are advised to be cautious about what they share online, as personal information posted publicly can help cybercriminals tailor their attacks.
• Security tools like deepfake detection software can help individuals identify fake voices or videos, though awareness and cautious online behavior remain critical.
• Cybersecurity education is essential, with both vendors and users needing awareness of AI-driven threats to implement better protective measures

We speak with Venafi's Chief Innovation Officer, Kevin Bocek following the acquisition by Cyberark, effective as 1 October, 2024.

Given Kevin’s role over a decade with Venafi, he gives insight into what the acquisition of Venafi means for the customers of both companies and the market.

We also discuss how the IAMs compliment each other and reflect the preference of customers to reduce the number of vendors, as well as responding to the state of play in terms of companies securing machine identities, and reflecting on the last 10 years how this will develop over the short to medium term.

We also consider the emergence of Quantum and recent news that scientists have cracked a shortened RSA encryption.

Recorded at Impact World Tour in Sydney, an identity security event, where, importantly Kevin has a key message for customers in APAC and Australia.

We sat down with Mr. Yeong to delve into the rising tensions around AI ownership, the need for more transparency, and the importance of human oversight in this rapidly changing field. Our chat took us into the fascinating convergence of quantum tech and law—paving the way for a whole new frontier in tech law. Here is a summary of the conversation under four key areas:

• Copyright: Cases like Getty vs. Adobe and Shutterstock are testing the limits of fair use as AI scrapes data to create new content. Different countries, like the U.S. and China, are adopting contrasting approaches to copyright. The U.S. Copyright Office has dismissed the notion that prompts given to AI can grant copyright to the user, while Chinese courts have ruled in some cases that if AI-generated content demonstrates sufficient creativity via prompts, the user may claim copyright.
• Human-in-the-Loop: While AI can assist with tasks like summarizing legal cases or generating reports, professionals remain accountable for the final output. The Singapore Academy of Law has developed a prompt engineering guide to help lawyers use AI effectively while ensuring human supervision and responsibility in legal services.
• Transparency & Explainability: Transparency means knowing how AI works, but explainability is the key to understanding why it makes certain decisions. The EU AI Act mandates transparency, but explainability is still optional. Mr. Yeong highlighted the importance of explainability in building trust with users and encouraged businesses to voluntarily offer this feature, particularly in areas like healthcare.
• Quantum Law: While quantum computing is currently expensive and not widely accessible, its future could disrupt assumptions about data encryption and security. Mr. Yeong noted that as quantum technology advances, policies related to data protection may need to be revisited, especially for data with long-term value.

Mr Yeong Zee Kin holds a Master of Laws from Queen Mary University of London and completed his undergraduate law degree at the National University of Singapore. His experience as a Technology, Media and Telecommunications lawyer spans both the private and public sectors. He has spoken and published in areas relating to electronic evidence and intellectual property, as well as legal issues relating to Blockchain and AI deployment.

Zee Kin is an internationally recognized expert on AI ethics. He spearheaded the development of Singapore’s Model AI Governance Framework, which won the UNITU WSIS Prize in 2019. He is currently a member of the OECD Network of Experts on AI (ONE AI). In 2019, he was a member of the AI Group of Experts at the OECD (AIGO), which developed the OECD Principles on AI. These principles have been endorsed by the G20 in 2019. He was also an observer participant at the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on AI, which fulfilled its mandate in June 2020.

Zee Kin is also a well-regarded expert on data privacy issues. He has contributed to publications on legal issues relating to data privacy and has spoken at many well-recognised international and domestic platforms on this topic.

Recorded 12th September 2024 3pm. Tech Law Fest, Singapore.
