Leveraging AI to Defend Against Insider Threats in Your Digital Landscape

  Presented by Vanguard Infrastructures & HPE

The single largest vulnerability to a company’s intellectual property (IP) is their employee or the trusted insider; the person with the keys to the kingdom. However, recent media and government disclosures have expanded this threat to include machine compromises installed during manufacturing. So, the threat could come from the trusted insider or the machine an unwitting employee is utilizing. Too few companies have a strategy to adequately combat these vulnerabilities, mainly due to a lack of knowledge the events are taking place. Vanguard Infrastructures presents a strategy that marries observed human behaviors, demeanors, actions, etc., with artificial intelligence and machine learning to assist companies by providing data and creating visibility into network events that might be a threat to the company. This presentation’s goal is to put more power into the hands of the company to protect their IP, identify potential problem behaviors of trusted employees and machines, and assist the company in ensuring their future.
