Anuj Malkapuram and Anton Chuvakin discuss the role machine learning has in threat management and the skills needed in new cybersecurity hires.

Security practitioners, particularly incident responders, are awash in data. Historically, security event management (SEM) and in the last decade security information event management (SIEM) has been the industry’s response to getting signal from big and fast moving data. Think of signal as finding the needle in the haystack. The problem really is that there are too many needles. So, it becomes the needle in the needle stack. Meaning, there are so many alerts firing off…you don’t know which one matters. Advancements in analytics like machine learning coupled with the cloud (scale) have the promise to help.
Anton is the leading voice on this topic as an analyst now product leader at Google. Anuj is the person in the salt mines fighting the good fight. He runs one of the largest security analytics orgs in the world as SFDC. He also represents a modern threat hunter…who bring security, software development and data science together. The represent two sides of one “security information and event management” coin so to speak.
As AI technologies become more embedded in cyber strategies, they enhance the capabilities of threat actors while also offering innovative defenses to organizations [1]. AI tools can amplify adversaries’ traditional Techniques, Tools, and Procedures (TTPs) by automating the generation of sophisticated threats such as polymorphic malware — which can dynamically alter its code to evade […]
Explore the strategic role of cyber insurance in risk management, highlighting its integration with cybersecurity efforts and financial planning for protection.
The three weeks since the July 19 Crowdstrike outage now known as the ‘Channel File 291 Incident’ have likely been some of the longest ever for IT teams. Just like when Wannacry ricocheted around the world in 2017, people collectively freaked out when BSODs (blue screen of death) began showing up in airports, hospitals, and […]
