Tackling Threats to Responsible Media Environments 2023

Join Samantha Stetson, Meta’s Vice President of Client Council and Industry Trade Relations, Ben Nimmo, Global Lead for Threat Intelligence at Meta, and Mike Lyden, VP of Threat Intelligence at TAG for a discussion on how collaboration can help us tackle threats across the internet. Rarely, if ever, do today’s bad actors target one single technology platform. As an industry, we go to great lengths to keep our technologies safe for people and brands, and to raise our collective defenses across the internet. This panel will provide an under-the-hood view into today’s defense strategies, how we build them into products like generative AI systems, and how this work is preparing us for the 2024 election.

 

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
