| TOPIC | Business Transformation through Enterprise Security – powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning |
| PRESENTER | Deepak Ranjan Rout (Executive Security Advisor, Microsoft) |
ABSTRACT
Exponential growth in computing and reduced cost for storage further fueled by ever increasing demand for enterprise mobility and seamless business productivity without constraint of location, user type and device type has made cloud ubiquitous. Consequently, there is exponential growth in volume of business information which needs new paradigms for its mining, management, and security. Business entities across all industry sectors have adopted cloud as a very significant part of their transformation strategies. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is at the core of the cloud value proposition.
Specific to security, we are seeing a new approach that is rippling across industry sectors, product companies, and threat actors. Mature and outlier security leaders have moved from an approach that stitches together dozens of best of breed security products to relying on an integrated security platform that provides several interconnect security capabilities where best of breed may not be the most important facet of each individual capability. The security world is also moving from providing security to data to deriving security from data. Defenders are transitioning from appliances that shrink data volumes for manageability to cloud based intelligent approaches that capture more data than ever before. Innovators are seeking signals across user, device, and application activity, and building learning systems to master security insights from them. Users are central to this new world, as security solutions adapt from placing controls on them to creating controls from their information trail.
This session will cover concepts of Artificial Intelligence & Machine learning, their relevance for Security and the differentiating qualities of the modern security approaches from Msft that leverage heavily the cloud and derive potency from AI & ML. There will be NO specific focus or coverage of Msft products in this session.
