In 2024, almost half the world's population in 80 countries will participate in elections, including France, the UK, India, Russia and the USA.

Electoral interference - through hacking, disinformation and AI-fueled deepfakes - poses a significant threat to these democratic processes. In the context of cyberattacks and AI-driven disinformation, Rob Sloan will propose to: examine the latest documented cases of election interference and their impact on democratic trust Analyze how similar tactics could be used to undermine corporations and their leadership. Provide concrete strategies for organizations to prepare for and defend against such attacks. How can organizations identify attacks early and prepare effectively to minimize damage? This session will enable participants to gather crucial insights into the evolving information warfare landscape, and walk away with practical actions to protect an organization's reputation and build stakeholder confidence in the age of sophisticated digital threats.

Part 1 | Focus on innovation

• A look back at IDECSI's history, 10 years after they won the Innovation Award in 2015: Daniel Benabou, IDECSI
• Presentation of the Innovation Prize to the 2024 winner: Snowpack

Part 2 | The Earth from space - A vision to change the world

Jean-Pierre Goux is fascinated by the beauty of the Earth as seen from space, its impact on astronauts and what this vision could change in human societies, both individually and collectively, if it became accessible to all. Through the story of a 25-year quest that took him into the inner workings of NASA and the powers that be to produce the first images of the entire Earth orbiting from space so that everyone could experience the overview effect (the wonder experienced by astronauts as they discover the Earth), he will emphasise the importance of dreams and of changing the way we look at things for the ecological transition. Participants will also be able to take part in this collective experience.

Friday, October 11 | 11:30am-12:00pm

The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in the enterprise has brought with it a set of new, complex and unexpected data security challenges. According to recent data, at least one in four business users interacts with AI applications every month, and this number is growing rapidly among the top 25% of users, with hundreds of interactions per month on average. As companies continue to integrate AI into their business processes - for example in customer relationship management, HR, product information etc... - they need to remain vigilant and take the necessary steps to ensure the security of their data. Effectively managing data security in the context of GenAI proliferation is not just a matter of risk mitigation, it's a strategic imperative now necessary for successful governance at executive level. When approached correctly, effective data protection enables companies to leverage GenAI for competitive advantage, while neglecting the need for security around its use can have catastrophic consequences for the business. In this session, you'll discover: How to debunk common myths surrounding GenAI adoption, with current statistics on GenAI growth and business risks. How to strategically select and consolidate technology tools to improve agility, reduce risk and maintain profitability. How to plan for the continued adoption of GenAI and the ongoing use of AI and machine learning to combat cyber attacks? How can you adopt modern protection techniques to safeguard data and enable your employees to use generative AI safely? How to properly assess your supply chain partners for risks when it comes to AI.

The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games shattered all records, and were watched by almost 4 billion viewers worldwide. Behind these jaw-dropping numbers, behind each of the spectacular performances, a team is waging an invisible behind-the-scenes battle to ensure the safety of the greatest sporting event of all time. For four years, this elite team has been preparing to counter the cyberthreats ready to strike at any moment. The challenge was to design a dynamic defense system, a veritable cyber fortress capable of detecting and neutralizing attacks before they were even deployed. Thanks to the tools deployed, but even more so to the collaboration, expertise and responsiveness of the teams at the heart of the system, we succeeded in anticipating the unexpected and thwarting the unpredictable in an event where every second counts.
