With Artificial Intelligence being the main buzz at the RSA Conference 2024 held in San Francisco last week. Many leading companies and other organizations, start-ups, exhibitors, and sponsors went all out to reveal their latest technological advancements or upgrades in combating cyber attacks.
Confidence Staveley in a post about the RSA Conference 2024 said that is the go-to event for anyone looking to get ahead in the cybersecurity world. It is where key players in the world of cybersecurity and networking meet to discuss important topics in the industry, new trends, strategies, and best practices in combating Cyber threats globally.
Kyle Alspach highlighted some hot AI tools and integrations that were exhibited at the RSA Conference 2024. Let’s explore a few of these tools:
Company Name: SentinelOne
Tool: Auto-investigation
SentinelOne one of the world’s most advanced AI-powered Cyber Security platforms, made a big announcement at the RSA Conference 2024. It introduced new capabilities in its Singularity platform which is backed by its Purple AI technology.
Tomer Weingarten, CEO of SentinelOne stated that SentinelOne is creating a future where security solutions will not only help enterprises to respond to threats but anticipate and mitigate them before they cause a security incident. In a few words, it will be your AI security analyst who carries out auto-investigation.
Company Name: Deep Instinct
Tool: DIANNA
Deep Instinct prides itself as the only predictive prevention cybersecurity solution that is natively architected with Deep Learning.
At the RSA Conference 2024, it introduced DIANNA (Deep Instinct’s Artificial Neural Network Assistant), the first-ever prevention-first generative AI cyber companion for malware analysis.
DIANNA works by providing actionable analysis, insights, and explanations of unknown threats by leveraging expert-level AI. Deep Instinct uses its deep learning framework to predict known and unknown threats and prevent them before they attack an organization’s network.
Company Name: Torq
Tool: HyperSOC
Torque is an AI-driven Hyper Automation Platform that helps security teams automate more and faster.
It introduced HyperSoc, its AI-powered SOC that automates 90% of Tier-1 SOC Analyst challenges. Chris Kissel, Vice President of Security & Trust Products, IDC Research stated that “Torq HyperSOC is the first solution they have seen that effectively enables SOC professionals to mitigate issues including alert fatigue, false positives, staff burnout, and attrition”.
It achieves this by eliminating alert fatigue, automating case management, and augmenting analysis with AI.
Company Name: Dazz
Tool: Unified Remediation Platform
Dazz aims to address remediation in cybersecurity for code, cloud, application, and infrastructure. Dazz’s Unified Remediation Platform automates the processes involved in remediation by uncovering blind spots and condensing alerts. Its secret weapon is in its patented root cause analysis which it says cuts time for prioritization, sorting, and remediation, thereby shrinking risk exposure.
Mike Towers, Chief Digital Trust Officer states that Dazz works by getting issues to their developers quickly, identifying misconfigurations for direct remediation, and collecting aspects of development security that were previously fractured and inconsistent.
Company Name: SlashNext
Tool: GenAI for Spam and Graymail
With the daily rise in email attacks using Social Engineering tactics and other techniques, SlashNext offers AI-powered Cloud Email Security to detect BEC and advanced phishing threats for inbound, outbound, and internal emails.
SlashNext aims to protect the modern workforce from malicious messages across multiple channels such as email, mobile, and web, including M365, Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Teams.
It achieves this through its AI Threat Insights which delivers advanced security analytics for comprehensive insights into the AI’s classification of threats. Spam/BulkMail automatically removes unsolicited bulk emails from user inboxes to improve employee productivity and reduce abuse inbox management.
All this is done on its Unified Administration Console. It also has API Integration for Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, or any SIEM solution to ingest advanced security events.
Company Name: Proofpoint
Tool: LLM-Based Detection
Proofpoint describes itself as the leading cybersecurity platform that is human-centric. Since modern-day attacks constantly target people, Proofpoint helps organizations focus on their biggest asset, ‘their People’.
Proofpoint has integrated LLM-based detection which provides thorough protection before an email gets to a Microsoft365 and Google Workplace inboxes and causes harm.
This innovation enables organizations to protect their people from payloadless social engineering threats (unique emails that contain no malicious links, content, or malware).
These innovations at the RSA Conference 2024 are a great indication of how much progress is being made by companies and organizations to ensure the security of assets using Artificial Intelligence and combating Cyber Threats that is also as a result of Artificial Intelligence.
