Staying at the bleeding edge of innovation is the only way to outpace attackers. However, most organizations are settling for a mitigation approach to cybersecurity which only engages once the adversaries have breached the perimeter. Attacks then need to run before they’re picked up and checked to see if they’re malicious, sometimes taking as long as 60 seconds. When dealing with an unknown threat, 60 seconds is too long to wait for analysis. A prevention approach is far more effective, explains Brooks Wallace, VP EMEA at Deep Instinct, as it operates on the basis that the attackers are not permitted to come within arm’s length of the network perimeter. And at the centre of this approach is deep learning.
