Cybersecurity is complex. We have threats, vulnerabilities, incidents, controls, risks, etc. But how do they all connect together to drive a cyber risk program? As an industry, we've struggled for 20+ years trying to boil this ocean. Maybe we've been going about it the wrong way.
Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how AI can help us solve the cybersecurity data problem. Starting with simple mappings from risks to controls, CyberSaint is flipping the cyber risk management problem on it's head. Instead of working from the bottom up, CyberSaint is tackling the problem from the top down. Padraic will discuss how CyberSaint is using AI, practical AI, to address the complexities of cybersecurity data, including:
- the use of Watsonx to generate their new KnightVision report
- how to use graphical node networks to model cybersecurity data
- the future of AI models to prioritize recommendations from all the data
