While the cybersecurity industry has increasingly focused on the roles artificial intelligence and machine learning can play in thwarting attacks, the humans behind the algorithms remain both points of strength and weakness, says RSA President Rohit Ghai, who kicked off the Tuesday keynote presentations at the RSA 2020 conference in San Francisco. Ghai offered lessons learned from the 2018 ransomware attack against Atlanta, which ended up paying over $17 million for clean-up and recovery after deciding not to give into the demand of the attackers, who had originally demanded a ransom of $51,000 in bitcoin to unlock the systems.
Actor and activist George Takei opened RSA 2020 with the message, "Homogeneity equals disaster," and RSA president Rohit Ghai reinforced that message: "We need to stop being snobs and trade exclusivity for inclusion." The discussion was in the RSA 2020 opening keynote on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
