Morning Keynote with Darktrace: AI-based Autonomous Response: Are Humans Ready?

Global ransomware attacks like WannaCry already move too quickly for humans to keep up, and even more advanced attacks are on the horizon. Cyber security is quickly becoming an arms race — machines fighting machines on the battleground of corporate networks. Algorithms against algorithms.

Artificial intelligence-based cyber defense can not only detect threats as they emerge but also autonomously respond to attacks in real time. As the shortage of trained cyber analysts worsens, the future of security seems to be automatic. But are humans ready to accept the actions machines would take to neutralize threats? 

Darktrace recently ran tests across enterprises of all sizes in a variety of industries and has subsequently deployed AI-based autonomous response in over one hundred organizations. In this presentation, explore lessons learned and hear about several use-cases in which autonomous response technology augmented human security teams.

In this session learn about:

• AI approaches and algorithms for detecting and responding to threats
• How human teams adopt (or resist) automated defenses
• The concepts of ‘human confirmation’ mode and ‘active defense’
• Success stories across Smart Cities, genomics organizations, and industrial control systems

Presented by Nicole Eagan, CEO, Darktrace

Darktrace Discussion

As cyber-threats become more sophisticated and hackers more creative, it’s crucial to consider the variety of in-roads into our modern networks. Take an in-depth dive into some of the most exciting and unconventional threats Darktrace’s AI has detected during an interactive session with Nicole Eagan & David Mata, including: 

• A compromised connected fish tank
• Stealthy insider threat utilizing Raspberry Pis 
• Manipulation of a video conferencing system

PANEL 1: The Compliance Nightmare: No One Gets Extra Points for Spending More to Pass and Audit

All auditors want one thing: Compliance. And the list of requirements isn’t a short one–it can include operational/security policies, regulatory mandates, industry standards, software patches, software license agreements and more. Adding to the complexity is the push for greater compliance–especially for security and patching–at a lower run rate on a mounting population of Windows, Mac and *nix endpoints. This is particularly true given the recent and highly damaging WannaCry and Petya attacks, which preyed on unpatched or non-compliant endpoints. This panel will discuss the challenges of meeting security compliance issues and key imperatives of keeping enterprises and their endpoints continuously patched, secure and compliant in today’s volatile world. We’ll also share tips on how to identify threats that are most relevant to your organization, and how to remediate them faster.

@RISK Technologies Discussion: Using Artificial Intelligence to Thwart Cyber Threats and Proactively Protect the Enterprise

Specifically, “Network Consensus” synchronizes existing security products using: netflow and packet capture techniques, Dark Web Queries, and Attack Avenue testing in conjunction with IBM Watson’s Machine Learning and Cognitive Computing capabilities. The result is a real-time “situational awareness” for executives, managers and technical staff that provides a single view of the enterprise’s cyber security status and is measured through a balance scorecard.The benefits of automating Post Incident Digital Forensic Investigation (DFI) and its reuse for Pre-Incident Discovery will also be discussed. The objective of the session is to demonstrate how to transform an organization’s security and risk posture, to one that is predictive, preemptive and adaptive, in order to maximize cyber defenses and minimize risk.

PANEL 2: What Emerging Risks Are Likely To Become Major Threats Facing IoT and Big Data? What New Countermeasures & Cutting Edge Technologies Are Available For Defense?

As 2017 drew to a close, a year in which cybercriminals seemingly remained a few steps ahead, one might have noticed an increase of cyber crime in areas ranging from national defense, politics, & global economic systems to smart homes and personal devices. With a growing reliance and utilization of consumer & commercial data, social media, autonomous cars, smart city infrastructure and an exponentially increasing market of IoT devices, how can we best prepare and defend against the next-generation of cyber attacks?

PANEL 3: Protecting Your Enterprise from the Human Element: Your Employees and Corporate Spies

With 90% of organizations feeling vulnerable to insider attacks and a majority of organizations confirming insider attacks against their organizations in the past 12 months, insider threat proves to be even more virulent than malicious attacks by actors beyond your network walls. On your payroll in one way or another, these dissatisfied employees, corporate spies and the like, have the means to harm your business. These insiders also have the ability to cause harm without meaning to! This panel will enlighten you on what insider threat & corporate espionage put at risk in your business. You will learn how identify threats inside your business (malicious and accidental) and leave with strong takeaways that will allow you to fortify your company defenses.
