Raffael Marty joins Alona to discuss the state of AI for security systems, why it is important to get the users more involved with security, and how data exploration is still in its infancy.

Highlights

  • For small enterprises and MSP it’s important for a security product to be easy to use.
  • The threat landscape is slightly different for small businesses.
  • The security problems today are still fundamentally the same as 20 years ago despite having more powerful programs.
  • Understanding how people use their systems is critical to understanding and identifying when there is a deviation.
  • Many AI systems are being built with poor, biased, or incomplete data.
  • We cannot solve everything with supervised machine learning.
  • Data visualization for dashboards has improved but data exploration is still emerging.
  • Data should be ingested and formatted for anonymity.
  • Some data is very difficult to make anonymous by the nature of it.
  • It is imperative to build security into the system from the beginning.
  • Something like GDPR will most likely be enacted in the United States.
