The threat posed to both organizations and individuals by ransomware, malware, and trojan horses, among others, isn’t going away anytime soon. Fortunately, machine learning is helping us develop new tools and techniques for cybersecurity, from automation to threat detection, and more, to help us more effectively protect our data. At ODSC West 2021 this November 16th-18th, our expert speakers will be presenting on and discussing some of these developments. Check out a few of our speakers and sessions for the ML for Cybersecurity track below.

Sessions:

Mitigating Risk Through Threat Hunting: Steven Konecny | Partner | Forensic Security Solutions & David Thompson | Managing Director | Forensic Security Solutions

A proactive approach to cybersecurity increases the likelihood of an organization identifying and neutralizing a threat before Ransomeware is installed or data stolen. In this course, you’ll learn about the techniques used in threat hunting, as well as the open source and commercial products that can help you identify weaknesses in a system.
