As the world's top authoritative security conference, RSA has become a weather vane to quickly understand the world's security trends, and an important platform that affects the transformation and sustainable development of the security industry. Different from previous years, artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of security is more of a theoretical discussion. This year, we have seen a large number of artificial intelligence in the field of security.
At the RSA Conference in 2018, whether it is the sharing of industry experts discussing major trends, or the top 10 innovative companies in the Innovation SandBox, or the exhibition area of hundreds of manufacturers, artificial intelligence can be seen. ". Although exhibitors are in different security market segments and provide different security products, the most common thing this year is that everyone is communicating to visitors how new products and new technologies can help to the greatest extent through artificial intelligence and machine learning. Raise the level of safety.
Artificial intelligence has become a standard keyword for various security companies, and it is also a new "engine" that drives the improvement of security capabilities.
RSA President Rohit Ghai in his opening keynote "Cybersecurity Silver Linings" strongly expressed the expectation and confidence to make better predictions through the adoption of new technologies, one of the most important of which is artificial intelligence (AI), and the use of AI Implemented User Behavior Analysis Application Technology (UEBA). Rohit is even optimistic that AI will become a software (AI is a software). According to the survey report data mentioned in Rohit's speech, in 2017, 46% of organizations reported that AI technology had begun to be adopted to some extent, and 92% said that UEBA was working very successfully. There is also a special topic in the Opening Keynote on the second day that is devoted to artificial intelligence.
It is very interesting that the exhibitors at the RSA Conference responded positively to Rohit Ghai's point of view with practical actions.
As a hot spot of RSAC, BigID in the innovation sandbox won the championship with its SandBox technology. It uses machine learning technology and certified intelligence to develop a new software platform.
Chris Morales, director of security analysis at Vectra networks, also emphasized the use of artificial intelligence methods to more efficiently detect various threats and attacks in order to reduce analyst workload and shorten threat response time.
The Micro Focus report "Demystifying Big data, analytics, and machine learning in Cyber Security" also introduces big data cleansing, machine learning, and real-world use cases.
The veteran IT vendor IBM also made artificial intelligence the core keyword of the exhibition area and keynote speeches, and claimed that its X-Force threat management service, which incorporates artificial intelligence technology, can automate the initial steps of the threat management process. Marc van Zadelhoff, general manager of IBM Security, said: "Enterprises can use new technologies such as AI for proactive threat management and Intelligent Orchestration to re-coordinate incident response procedures in the intelligent age.
As one of the world's top three cloud computing service providers, Alibaba Cloud will bring three new security products to the 2018 RSA. Among them, content security products are a landing practice of artificial intelligence technology in the field of business security.
Based on technologies such as computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning, as well as years of massive data support, Alibaba Security Turing Lab has developed content security products that can provide intelligent identification of multimedia content risks such as pictures, videos, text, and voice. Services, including pornography-related, violent terrorism, unfair competition, infringement and other bad scenarios, can reduce the cost of manual review by more than 90%.
At present, related technologies have been widely used in core business lines such as Taobao, Alipay, Youku, and UC, providing a strong driving force for the intelligent development of Alibaba's ecology. Human authentication, etc.) to provide high-quality artificial intelligence services for tens of thousands of corporate customers.
Researchers from Alibaba Security Turing Lab said that at this RSA exhibition, artificial intelligence technology is still more focused on applications in the field of basic security, and there is relatively little understanding of upper-level business content and security awareness. The biggest reason is that content security has not yet been able to form a unified standard due to cultural differences. Therefore, to a certain extent, it is more dependent on the self-research or manual review of various companies and businesses.
"We have had a lot of exchanges and communication with the visitors who came to the Ali Security Exhibition Area, and everyone has a consensus on the application of artificial intelligence in content security." A researcher at Ali Security Turing Lab said, "Faced with the huge number of Internet users It is a predictable means to effectively use artificial intelligence technology for assistance. Through artificial intelligence technology, the security level of the network can be effectively improved.”
