RSA Conference’s ‘Most Innovative Startups’ are…you guessed it: AI

With a focus on security, RSA Conference 2023 featured prominently in AI, the topic of many sessions and presentations, and an area of ​​expertise for multiple winners.

The latter includes HiddenLayer, a company that provides security for machine learning that won the annual RSAC Innovation Sandbox and was voted Most Innovative Startup. In the 18th year of the competition, each of the 10 finalists had his 3 minutes to woo a panel of judges about their respective offerings. As mentioned above, the winner’s product, like most things these days, centers around AI (especially machine learning).

In an April 24 news release, RSA Conference said, “HiddenLayer has been recognized by a esteemed panel of judges for helping companies secure the machine learning models behind their critical products with a comprehensive security platform. Selected: “An AI application security company based in Austin, Texas, whose patent-pending solution monitors machine learning algorithms for adversarial ML attack techniques.”

According to the company’s website, “HiddenLayer’s patent-pending solution is a non-invasive, software-based technology that monitors the inputs and outputs of machine learning algorithms for anomalous activity consistent with adversarial ML attack techniques.” It provides a platform for response actions to be immediate in a flexible response framework that protects ML.”

Concentric AI, another AI specialist, is a vendor of intelligent AI-based solutions for autonomous data security posture management and was awarded Publisher’s Choice Award for Data Security Posture Management for its semantic intelligence solution. cyber defense magazineConcentric AI’s site states, “Concentric Semantic Intelligence solutions use advanced machine learning technology to scan and classify data autonomously. Our solutions range from financial data to PII/PHI/PCI, intellectual It finds and classifies all your data, from private property to sensitive business information.”

cyber defense magazine Over the years, events have named winners in various categories. Some of these categories are related to AI or Machine Learning and the appropriate winners, specific awards and categories are:

• Flexxon Pte. Ltd, Editor’s Choice, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Silo breakers, hot companies, artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Deloitte, Publisher’s Choice, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• StrikeReady’s Most Innovative Applied Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity
• Koro, cutting edge, cyber security artificial intelligence
• Deloitte, Hot Company, Cyber ​​Security Artificial Intelligence
• Deep instinct, the most comprehensive cyber security artificial intelligence

When it comes to announcements, there were many AI-themed announcements from vendors large and small during the conference. For the latter, for example, Google Cloud announced Security AI Workbench. It is described as the industry’s first platform to enable security partners to extend generative AI into their products.

IBM, famous for shifting its focus to hybrid cloud and AI several years ago, has announced a new QRadar Security Suite to speed threat detection and response.

New offerings include EDR/XDR, SIEM, SOAR, and new cloud-native log management capabilities. All built around a common user interface, shared insights, and connected workflows.

• Integrated analyst experience: Refined in collaboration with hundreds of real-world users, the suite features a modernized user interface common across all products, dramatically increasing analyst speed and efficiency throughout the attack chain It is designed to let His enterprise-level AI and automation capabilities are built in and shown to speed up alert investigation and triage by an average of 55% in his first year.
• Cloud delivery, speed and scale: Delivered as a service on Amazon Web Services (AWS), QRadar Suite products simplify deployment, visibility, and integration across cloud environments and data sources. The suite also includes new cloud-native log management capabilities optimized for highly efficient data ingestion, rapid search, and analytics at scale.
• Open Foundation, pre-built integrations: The suite brings together the core technologies needed for threat detection, investigation and response, offering an open foundation, extensive partner ecosystem, and strong interoperability between IBM and third-party toolsets Built around 900+ pre-built integrations.

There were also many AI-related sessions such as “Quick Look: ChatGPT: A New Generation of Dynamic Machine Based Attacks?”

RSA said of the session: “As with all scientific advances with noble intentions, there will inevitably be room for exploitation. This session will explore possible technologies and how ML can outsmart humans in the cyberattack domain. We’ll see if we can.”

RSA Security 2023 was packed with AI-related sessions, presentations, and awards. You can find out more about these on the conference site. The massive increase in AI-related content compared to a year ago (the pre-ChatGPT era), like most other things these days, shows just how much AI is changing the security space. increase. The conference ends today (April 27).
