About this talk

Despite the thousands of cybersecurity products available today, data breaches are at an all-time high. That’s because businesses have been focusing exclusively on securing their networks, devices, and cloud applications. But, what about their people? Employees can accidentally transfer thousands of dollars to a bank account or send 50,000 patient records in a single Excel file in one click of a mouse. In fact, misdirected emails were the leading cause of data breaches in 2019. Traditional cyber security methods simply aren’t equipped to account for the complexities of human relationships because human behavior can’t be codified into "if-this-then-that" logic. Individual relationships change over time which necessitates a solution that can learn and evolve in tandem with the threats it detects without impeding on the productivity of users. Stateful machine learning does just that. Learn about developing a robust, people-centric approach to cybersecurity, the technologies that detect and prevent threats caused by human error, and more, when you join this VB Live event! Attendees will learn: - How stateful machine learning can accurately predict behaviors and detect possible human-made threats before they do damage - How technology can prevent data breaches caused by people making mistakes, breaking rules, or being hacked - How to empower employees to correct damaging mistakes before they make them Speakers: - Ed Bishop, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Tessian - Joe Maglitta, Senior Contributor/Analyst, VentureBeat
