Artificial intelligence is changing the way cyber criminals operate,
and experts say staying informed is more important than ever.
22 News reporter Sarah Bien-Aimé was at Bay Path University
in Longmeadow today, where cybersecurity experts
shared how people can better protect themselves.
That's right. Bay Path University hosted
its 14th annual Cybersecurity Summit,
with about 200 people signed up to attend,
both in person and virtually.
This year's focus was on AI
and the growing threat it poses to businesses and everyday people.
Attendees had the opportunity to network,
take notes, and learn from security experts.
I have some experience working with AI in the cybersecurity space.
But one of the other topics I wanted to share with the folks here today
is another thing to worry about called quantum security.
The university's president also addressed the crowd.
Alongside the cybersecurity program director,
the university president shared that they're
even traveling to D.C. to talk about
their program with national security officials.
We're literally using the tools, right, which are causing the problem
to update our curriculum with examples of the problem.
And earlier today, the experts visited East Longmeadow High,
where the high school students who attended today's summit got
an opportunity to earn educational credits.
