📋 Tender Overview
The rapid transformation of business processes, digital infrastructure, technology development and implementation, and consequently the emergence of new cyber risks, make it imperative to incorporate artificial intelligence to enhance cybersecurity across companies in completely different industries. Vice President for Cybersecurity at Sberbank Sergei Lebed spoke at AI Journey. Sergei Lebed argued that the speed of digital transformation substantially expands the zone of uncertainty, thus amplifying cyber risks. Even the most competent team of cybersecurity experts physically cant keep up with the pace of change. To address this, AI must be developed in three key areas to enhance cybersecurity. The first line of work is automation of incident response. Sber works hard on developing multi-agent systems based on AI for its Security Operation Center. The second strategic line of work is automated secure development. Sber has designed an AI platform that identifies and eliminates vulnerabilities in product source code at all stages of production. Absolutely all product releases and infrastructure projects at Sber go through testing on this platform. The third line involves AI-based assistants and copilots. These systems compensate for gaps in experts knowledge, inadequate speed of data acquisition and processing, or both. For example, Sber employs the Cyberanalyst system for threat and incident analysis, alongside the CyberExpert AI assistant, which is a combination of classical ML solutions and GenAI agents for automating production and providing rapid assistance on cybersecurity issues. Sber has also developed a similar product for market-wide experts, a smart cybersecurity assistant freely available on Cybrarium. The discussion also featured Pyotr Khennikin, executive director and head of AI Technology Security Assessment Department at Sberbank; Branislav Radomirovic, program director at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Serbia; Anton Ivanov, CTO of Kaspersky Lab; and Ruslan Iskyandyarov, head of ecosystem services at T-Bank. Anna Kulashova, vice president for business development in Russia and CIS Countries at Kaspersky Lab, moderated the session.
