AI - Not A Panacea For Threat Detection with Nash Borges, Secureworks

AI has become a popular buzzword in cybersecurity. But is it the be-all-end-all of solutions?

Nash Borges, Vice President of Engineering and Data Science at Secureworks, joins us to discuss the history of artificial intelligence, the role it plays in threat prevention and detection, its efficacy versus hype, and useful tips organizations can follow before incorporating AI and machine learning into their defense strategies.

Tune in to the full episode — AI - Not A Panacea For Threat Detection with Nash Borges, Secureworks.

What You Will Discover:

✔️ Cover the basics. Malware authors have innovated their threats since then. Relying on AI is not 100% successful unless you choose tools to find previously undetected threats and prioritize more important alerts.

✔️ AI still faces caveats. Supervised ML still mistakes practices such as recognizing objects or text-to-speech as malware. Anomaly detection doesn’t generate meaningful alerts. Data imbalance still exists.

✔️ Use AI smartly and properly. Look for a tool that can spot patterns, decompose data, and compound evidence over time about the entities you care about the most.

✔️Before incorporating AI, do this. Trust AI but verify. Close the error gap of AI in real-world situations. Don’t fall for the hype. Research on use cases with AI as a successful solution and determine if it applies to your organization. Find the right tool for the job that can learn so threat detection won’t feel like finding a needle in a haystack.
