Breakout Session 1.1 | Exploiting Big Data to Enhance Cybersecurity

Big data and advanced analytic capabilities—including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and semantic indexing—can surface hidden trends, accelerating the identification of cyber threats and empowering cybersecurity professionals to react to these risk indicators in near real-time. The profusion of data, driven by its increasing use as a currency and the rapid growth of the Internet of Things, will make employing these capabilities non-optional.

Panelists will consider:

  • How can AI and big data be used to detect anomalies earlier and enhance the decision-making process to shut out an intruder sooner?
  • What is semantic indexing and how will it help reduce risk?
  • What are some of the dangers of the Internet of Things in terms of security, and how will we protect all of that new data?
