RSAC 2020: Lack of Machine Learning Laws Open Doors To Attacks
2020-02-26 22:27

Why so few machine learning court cases? Experts point to the fact that staple cybersecurity regulations such as the Computer Fruad and Abuse Act and Electronic Communications Privacy Act don't specifically spell out how to handle machine learning attacks. This type of attack can open up machine learning systems to anything from data manipulation, logic corruption or even backdoor attacks.

Stellar Cyber’s new app applies machine learning to firewall data to spot anomalies
2020-01-22 03:30

Security provider Stellar Cyber, with the first Open-XDR platform, announced its new Firewall Traffic Analysis Application, which supercharges firewalls by analyzing their data to spot undetected anomalies. With this new App, security analysts get an automated assistant to detect firewall misconfigurations, malicious users and abnormal traffic to gain new value from firewall data, improving analyst productivity typically over 20x. The FTA Application supports firewalls from many vendors including Cisco, Check Point, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks and Sophos.
