In this episode, we’re doubling up on a couple of topics that continue to be at the top of industrial cybersecurity’s critical issue list – ransomware and artificial intelligence.
The confluence of these two topics is interesting to break down in considering how AI has contributed to the speed and scale of ransomware attacks, while the growth of these extortion campaigns has led to more enterprises seeking out AI solutions to bolster their cyber defenses.
To discuss these intertwining facets of industrial cybersecurity, we’ll first hear from Rob T. Lee, the Chief AI Officer and Chief of Research at the SANS Institute, then from Eric Herzog, the Chief Marketing Officer at Infinidat, a Lenovo company, before getting some closing remarks from Rob. Listen/watch as they discuss:
- The growing threat landscape and what is feeding it.
- How data storage strategies can help mitigate attacks.
- The growing importance of response plans.
- How AI is generating both concern and excitement for cybersecurity strategies.
- The rise of autonomous attack schemes.
- Why experimentation should be a key element of cybersecurity training.
