Presented by Darktrace

Alongside the rise of today’s dynamic workforce, the speed and scale of sophisticated cyber-attacks are rapidly increasing. As the cybersecurity industry continues to endure an ongoing skills shortage, over-worked and under-resourced teams urgently need augmentation in order to defend against evolving, sophisticated threats.

For over three years, Darktrace experts have been working to meet this challenge, investigating whether they could teach AI to think like a cybersecurity analyst. It takes subtle, nuanced skills and implicit knowledge for an analyst to detect genuinely threatening activity, and the creation of the world-first Cyber AI Analyst took analyzing over one hundred of the world’s top threat analysts and complex machine learning algorithms. Join Darktrace as we discuss the Cyber AI Analyst in action.

In our journey through this session, we take you through the evolution, goals, and motivation of the Dark Web. We will share with you what and whom you can find on the platforms as well as the major conflicts individuals face while exploring this web. The session also exposes you to the syndicates and structures running on the platforms. Surprisingly, we see how those groups were among the first to embrace and implement Blockchain technology and created a major global demand for crypto currencies. This is the time to listen, learn, and be exposed to the deepest secrets of the Dark Web.

Most of the security industry is chasing “around” 31,000 larger enterprise sized companies for their business. The list is well known, circulated and targets are on the backs of ALL the C-Suite, most of the technical folks and the MSP/VARS that support them. The Security industry circles them like packs of hyena or vultures waiting for one of them to fall, get breached, or for a vendor to be thrown out… pouncing on the fresh kill with glee…

Meanwhile, you’re sitting there getting slaughtered by every adversary known to mankind because you ARE the forgotten, you’re too small for the multi-billion $$ cyber companies whom IF they decide to deal with you will flood you with MSA’s, SOW’s and NDA’s that would take a week’s worth of lawyer time JUST to understand, let alone realize that they’re not accountable for anything, unlikely to want to support you and in all honestly you’ll get a 1-800-YOU-AREN’T-SPECIAL number as your sole source of support.

We’re going to address the current situation, the state of play, and give you some thoughts, suggestions, ideas AND plans. We’ll provide resources on HOW to evaluate, where to look, what to do AND importantly we’ll do it because it’s what we’re doing. We live, breath and deal with this daily. We’ve sat in the meetings when the large cybersecurity companies state, “we’re done dealing with the SMB market” and we’ve got the battle scars from dealing with those subsequent consequences.
