Joseph – Very interesting article. Based on the article Splunk purchase Caspida because of the surging corporate cybersecurity spending following numerous well-publicized breaches. The article, also mentioned that most of the high-profile breaches were due to compromised credential, which means that automated detection leveraging machine learning is the future for detecting know and unknown threats form insider and external attackers.
Donald – yes, the AI, machine learning is coming already as AV (Anti-Virus). It’s a good trend. I found a lot of interesting news from your link all dedicated to Cyber Security.
