When your team discovers an app impersonating your business, or a website pretending to sell your products, it's your top priority to take down the malicious content. Dealing with various hosting providers can become a time-consuming, tedious process if the right technology isn’t utilized, resulting in slower takedown speeds and more expansive attacks across multiple channels. 

In this webinar, we discuss how we have trained and deployed state-of-the-art Security Operations co-pilot here at Bolster to elevate the takedown process for our customers. These models plug into our infrastructure on multiple levels, and fully automate our workflows from detection and monitoring, through takedown, based on years of takedown experience.  

Join us to hear from our Bolster Machine Learning Engineer Adithya Singh on how to integrate leading automation and LLM solutions like Bolster’s co-pilot into software pipelines to better protect your business, including:  

- Bolster’s state-of-the-art co-pilot, highlighting automated non-API based takedowns to facilitate the takedown process with registrars and hosting providers. 
- Real-world tips for utilizing state-of-the-art generative AI-based LLM to eliminate the need of any human intervention in takedowns.

Vision Transformers are quickly emerging as the top method in solving computer vision tasks for anti-phishing use cases due to the immense success of transformers in the NLP domain. For the longest time, CNNs and hashing systems have been go-to methods to solve image classification problems. However, many limitations of these methods have given rise to powerful vision transformers like SWIN which is taking the field of computer vision by storm. 

Join us as we do a technical deep dive into how image similarity search to solve image classification and remarkable capabilities of SWIN transformers, which leverage the power of self-supervised learning and visual recognition to identify sophisticated phishing campaigns.  

Adithya Singh, Machine Learning Engineer at Bolster, will discuss how SWIN transformers can be used for:  
- Analyzing complex visual cues for threat categorization  
- Detecting subtle manipulations in the visual data 
- Distinguishing with high fidelity legitimate websites from malicious ones;  
- and being added to your existing tools for phishing and scam detection

Along with the new year, it’s time to level up your cyber defense strategies with the newest developments in AI technology as it pertains to security use cases. GPTs (Generative Pre-Trained Transformers), a part of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), are creating new problems for security practitioners and the battle against the evolving surging phishing threats. To combat against these evolving threats aided by A.I., security practitioners need to get wise about the new trends in digital fraud.   

In this webinar, we’ll dive into new hacking tools that leverage GPTs, and their effectiveness at taking down traditional security defenses. From conversational A.I. that provides hacking aid, to A.I. that autonomously creates malware, GPT-based hacking tools are gaining rapid popularity (and for good reason).
