Today, 94% of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. 'Impersonation attacks' are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or 'digital fakes', that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues.

Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own - businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response. In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, 'immune system' technology takes action in seconds - stopping cyber-threats before damage is done. Find out how in this session.

Covered in this session:

• Recognizing the gaps in traditional threat hunting
• Understanding of the tactics, techniques, or procedures (TTPs) of threat hunting
• Pairing TTPs with data analytics
• How to find unknown anomalies
