AI and Cybersecurity: A Rob Burgundy Investigation

Attention, fellow news anchors and concerned citizens! Rob Burgundy is here to tackle a story hotter than a disco inferno in polyester pants: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity. That’s right, folks. In this digital age, hackers are running rampant like greased weasels in a chicken coop, stealing our precious data faster than you can say “glass case of emotion.” But fear not, for organizations are turning to a new weapon in this cyber war: AI, the thinking machine!

What Legacy and Bundled Cybersecurity Tools Miss in Large Network Environments

The main challenge many of the cybersecurity products on the market today struggle to overcome is the difficulty of monitoring multi-cloud environments. Many are only capable of handling pieces of one environment rather than giving an enterprise visibility across all of their environments. This leaves costly gaps in their security posture and significantly increases the likelihood of an attack.

5 Critical Factors That Impact an Organization’s Cybersecurity Efficacy

It’s no surprise that organizations are pouring resources into their security approaches, from investments into hardware and software and significant increases in Cybersecurity professional hiring. In fact, industry watchers expect organizations globally to contribute to $1.75 trillion in cumulative spending on Cybersecurity between 2021 and 2025.

As Enterprises Embrace 5G, AI-Enhanced Cybersecurity Emerges as Top Security Priority

The much-anticipated fifth generation (5G) of broadband cellular technology has arrived, ushering in unprecedented network speed and connectivity. The tech is also spurring innovation into new tech solutions to meet an ever-growing appetite for instant, reliable connectivity, often, faster than most enterprise Cybersecurity teams can handle. If there was ever a time for AI to deliver on the promises made by Cybersecurity platform vendors, it’s now.

What is Anomaly Detection in Cybersecurity?

Anomaly detection, the “identification of rare occurrences, items, or events of concern due to their differing characteristics from the majority of the processed data,” allows organizations to track “security errors, structural defects and even bank fraud,” according to DeepAI and described in three main forms of anomaly detection as: unsupervised, supervised and semi-supervised. Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts use each of these approaches to varying degrees of effectiveness in Cybersecurity applications.

Innovation During a Crisis: A story of PIE and Ice Cream

Some of you may have seen the “funny” statistic in the last few months that during the pandemic, ice cream sales are way up while deodorant sales are way down. Let’s just say that, for me, it’s coffee ice cream. Dessert aside, this stat does lead one to think about what other trends occur during a pandemic or a crisis when we look back at events such as world wars, the Great Depression, the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2007-08, etc.
