FORTINET - REVELATIONS OF THIS YEAR'S SECURITY THREAT LANDSCAPE
Derek Manky, Fortinet Global Security Strategist
Artificial Intelligence techniques are finding plenty of use in the security space. It is no secret that the quality and quantity of threats are exponentially “up and to the right”. Black hat attackers play without rules, boundaries and little resistance. They are building their own automated attack frameworks and more recently, artificially intelligent attack code. With limited qualified cyber security experts across the globe, we need to rely more on automation and actionable intelligence to fill the gap. This session will focus on the application of expert systems to real security challenges and the effectiveness of current approaches. Learn how to leverage a robust security fabric, armed by real-time threat intelligence, to protect your business.
