Cybersecurity is a cat-and-mouse game where the mouse always has long had the upper hand because it’s so easy for new malware to go undetected. Dr. Eli David, an expert in computational intelligence and CTO of Deep Instinct, wants to use AI to change that, bringing the GPU-powered deep learning techniques underpinning modern speech and image recognition to the vexing world of cybersecurity.

Ep. 9: Winning the Cybersecurity Cat and Mouse Game with AI

What exactly happened? And how can you best protect yourself? Get answers to these questions and more as Lance Spitzner, Director at SANS Securing the Human, weighs in on the data breach affecting 143 million Equifax users

Equifax Breach

People, process, and technology. It’s an interlocked trio that’s vital to most organizations today. And when there’s a shift in security operations or strategy, all three will feel the jolt. In this episode, we’ll be talking with two guest speakers who draw on their firsthand experiences to share must-do and avoid-at-all-costs security operations and strategy advice.

Some of the topics that we’ll cover include:
•Skills that are most needed for today’s security operations and analyst roles
•Differentiating between product security and IT security
•How to adapt security operations and architecture for public cloud deployments

Security Operations and Strategy

It’s never good news when potential security exploits are detected. But when they affect all personal computers, mobile devices and cloud infrastructure dating back to 1995, it creates a problem of a whole new magnitude. In this episode, we’ll be talking with Paul Kocher, the researcher credited with co-discovering Spectre and a co-author of the Meltdown research paper.

Some of the topics that we cover include:

•How did these vulnerabilities happen, and why were they not detected sooner?
•Did the rush to bring technology to market play a role in allowing these exploits to slip through the cracks?
•What are the main concerns to look out for—both as an individual and as a CISO?
