Abstract

While technological innovations bring us new options for better security, we must constantly evaluate how they affect our privacy. For example, with cheaper, better cameras, we can have surveillance, but we lose some privacy. When traveling by plane, we let security x-ray our bags for assurance of security. We make the same considerations for securing our organizations. Today, the number one threat vector is email security, where hackers are targeting employee communications. We need better ways of monitoring communications, but no one wants anyone going through their emails, documents, slack, etc. With the age of AI - we have new opportunities where machines can analyze the communications in an automated fashion, and flag issues for security, without violating privacy. In this talk, learn how new techniques using deep learning and natural language understanding (NLU) deliver better security without sacrificing privacy.
