This month's event will be our first of many guest speaker panel discussion.  Our panel this month features speakers from:

Panel Topic Discussion:

How are Bad Actors using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to change or innovate automation to create new attack vectors. Are these innovations forcing companies to deploy advanced heuristic solutions and replace signature-based solutions? 

Panel Topic Abstract:

The panel will explore how bad actors might be using AI and ML to enhance and automatic their attacks to create new attack vectors and increase the attack surface.  From their vantage points in the SIEM space, do the panelists believe that the bad actors are using these innovations to identify vulnerabilities faster and exploit them faster.  Does this innovation in the hands of the bad actors force companies to deploy advanced heuristic solutions and replace signature based solutions?  Are their identifying features that companies can look for in attack scenarios to help them defend their ecosystems? We will spend about an hour chatting with the panelists about these area.

Panel Moderator:

Gordon MacKay, EVP and Chief Technology Officer of Digital Defense.
