The fight is no longer at the perimeter. In the new era of cyber-threats, machines fight machines on the battleground of corporate networks. No human security team can keep pace. From high-speed global ransomware attacks to sophisticated threats that disguise themselves for months on a network before taking action, these attacks call for a change in the way we protect our most critical assets. Self-learning, self-defending systems are now being deployed to secure complex enterprise networks across all environment types – ranging from physical, virtual, and cloud, through to the IoT and industrial control systems. Known as ‘immune system’ defense, this approach uncovers threats that have already penetrated the network border and then automatically fights back. Unlike legacy approaches that rely on rules or signatures, immune system security learns and responds autonomously, enables the security team to focus on high-value tasks, and can counter even fast-moving, automated attackers. In this session, learn about: The new age of silent, stealthy attacks that lie low in networks for weeks and months Why legacy approaches, like rules and signatures, are proving inadequate on their own How new ‘immune system’ technologies based on advanced mathematics and machine learning are being deployed today Real-world examples of subtle, unknown threats that routinely bypass traditional controls
