The Processes to Deliver Effective Threat Detection and Response

Machine learning advancements have grown rapidly in the last few years. However, machine learning is heavily dependent on data, as machine learning models are trained on vast datasets that are then used to provide insight or draw conclusions. This reliance on data means that machine learning can be subverted by an adversary who is able to manipulate even just a small portion of the data.

This talk will provide an overview of what adversarial machine learning is and details on some categories of vulnerabilities. Additionally, this talk will provide a list of things to think about when using or developing machine learning models.

What is Generative AI and What are the Security Considerations?

Tune into this talk to learn about the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, focusing on the application of AI-driven behavioral profiling to identify malicious activities. Industry thought leader John Bambenek will delve into the mechanisms by which AI models discern typical from atypical user behaviors, thus enhancing threat detection capabilities. The discussion also will cover the benefits of this holistic approach, including improved detection accuracy and faster response times. Practical case studies will demonstrate the effectiveness of AI behavioral profiling in real-world scenarios, underscoring its significance in the development of robust cybersecurity frameworks.

Enhancing EDR: A Holistic AI-Based Behavioral Profiling Approach

Endpoint protection has been around for decades and is not disappearing anytime soon. While the key requirement of any solution is efficacy (effectiveness in detecting threats), there are many other aspects that should be part of your endpoint solution evaluation and selection process. 

Tune into this presentation from industry thought leader Kevin Tolly who will introduce the audience to three important aspects to consider: 
- Resource utilization.
- Online vs. offline efficacy.
- Hybrid detect/respond solutions. 

Some solutions can consume much or all of the endpoint’s CPU during scans leading to potential degradation of the endpoint’s overall performance. Some solutions are not as effective when they are offline and can’t access their cloud-based threat databases. This can be important for operations-oriented computers that are deliberately disconnected from the Internet. We are also seeing a split between detection and remediation with some solutions consisting of two vendors specializing in each area. These vendors claim that improved detection justifies the split solution. 

Tune in to dive more into these points and see Kevin Tolly present vendor-neutral test data from actual test to demonstrate the differences across some current generation solutions.
