Deep learning makes decisions based upon the data it sees and the data that it doesn’t see but infers from what it does see. This became useful in the AV industry when the adversary introduced polymorphic viruses. These are viruses that change their appearance on the fly and not always ... Read More

While SIEM is undoubtedly a step up from unmonitored network environments, the inherent nature of today’s SIEM software often falls short in several important ways. SIEM is an outdated solution for adequately protecting networks within the modern threatscape ... Read More

Artificial Intelligence – or AI – has become a buzzword since it emerged in the 1950s. However, all AI systems are not created equal. In our white paper, “Self-Supervised Learning – AI For Complex Network Security,” Dr. Peter Stephenson explains the different “waves” of artificial intelligence. He uses the DARPA ... Read More

As organizations began to rely more heavily on networking to carry out their operations over the past decade, IT teams added security analyst positions. These professionals focused on network security and providing regulatory compliance oversight. Over time, the role of the security analyst has expanded to include threat hunting tasks ... Read More
