AI: Demystifying the Dark Arts to Combat Threats  

  Presented by Vanguard Infrastructures & HPE

To combat the latest threats, cyber security vendors have no choice but to use one of the most powerful tools to emerge in decades – Artificial Intelligence. But critics are right in their concerns over the interpretability of AI solutions. How do we learn to trust the magic black boxes when even the experts can’t explain the answers produced by AI? What is AI, and how is it different than data science and machine learning? What does it mean when a cyber-security solution is AI-enabled? What are the important things to know about the different AI implementations as they relate to cyber security products? How do I trust the output / results of AI? Join us as we provide an AI primer through the lens of cyber security and dissipate the cloudiness caused by buzzwords.

Adapting to Fight Back: How Cyber AI Neutralizes Never-Before-Seen Threats

  Presented by Darktrace

In a world that is increasingly digital, cyber-attack has become the most significant risk confronting today’s businesses, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. Online crime cost the world more than half a trillion dollars last year, while recent attacks have managed to influence the U.S. presidential election and disrupt the Ukrainian power supply. This troubling state of affairs is the product of several fundamental weaknesses with the traditional approach to cyber defense, which relies on predefining what threats look like at a time when criminals launch never-before-seen attacks daily. Moreover, these attacks increasingly strike at machine-speed, preventing security professionals from responding before their damage is done.
