April’s Cybersecurity Recap: More AI, New Security Perspectives and Major Corporate Trust Issues
April was another eventful month in the cybersecurity world. The 2018 RSA Conference brought together thousands of security professionals from around the world, and network defense got a boost with new machine intelligence offerings. Meanwhile, C-suites struggled to see cyber risk as more than just an IT issue, and new survey data showcased the increasing gap between consumer trust and corporate data privacy policy.
Artificial intelligence (AI) was also on display at RSAC 2018, where a movement toward ” an AI-powered, data-centric model ” of cybersecurity was highlighted. This collaboration between man and machine will ultimately impact every industry, and an emerging technology shift should help speed up the process.
As IBM announced at RSAC, the IBM Resilient Incident Reponse Platform (IRP) with Intelligent Organization “dramatically accelerates and sharpens incident response by seamlessly combining incident case management, orchestration, automation, intelligence and deep two-way partner integrations into a single platform,” according to IBM Security General Manager Marc van Zadelhoff. In addition, new IBM X-Force Threat Management services leverage multiple AI engines to query current security incidents against 600,000 historical use cases to help automate threat response.
