GEC NEWS WIREPaladion Discusses ‘Demise of Analysis, Rise of Intelligence’at GISEC 2015
With advanced attacks now the norm for data breaches, the future security for many companies is uncertain. According to FiroshUmmer, Managing Director of EMEA at Paladion Network, increased intelligence and smarter analysis is the key to preventing hackers, as outlined in his recent presentation ‘Demise of Analysis, Rise of Intelligence’ at GISEC on April 28th. Most organizations with breaches have received alerts related to the breach. Ummer believes these breaches were overlooked, as analysts were occupied with analyzing and responding to other events. A fact compounded by each of these security technologies having significant number of false positives, making it complex to detect, prioritize and act on the right event. “The result is missed attacks and security breaches despite high CAPEX and OPEX,” Ummer stated.
“It is obvious that real attack alerts get lost in the sea of other alerts.” The use of statistical inference, machine learning and visualization techniques on security data has become a key component of information security strategy. Security intelligence is the fusion of statistical models, machine learning, visualization and big data, and provides better analysis. “Machine learning comes through intelligent and targeted analysis which means advanced attacks can be explored and patterns revealed. This makes breaches less likely and hackers less successful,” concludes Ummer.
