The Future of Security: How Artificial Intelligence Will Impact Us

For decades, the security profession has relied on the best technology we had at the time to deflect the onslaught of what we faced daily in the way of virus and malware attacks. Now, as predicted by Thomas Kuhn in his book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we’re seeing the dawn of a new day where AI’s machine learning and advanced mathematical algorithms now offer validated deflection rates, pre-execution, in the realm of 99%. This session will explore this new paradigm and how it will impact our future.

Main points covered:

• How did our profession change in the world of reactive detection? 
• How to escape the inertia that held us, prisoners? 
• What is the power of AI and machine learning? 
• What are the risks of this new technology?
