2126: Deep Instinct - How AI Can Reduce Stress in Cybersecurity Teams.

The job of defending against increasingly advanced threats on a daily and hourly basis is causing more problems than ever with The Great Cybersecurity Resignation plaguing industries across the world.

New research reveals that 49% of UK C-Suite leaders have considered quitting the industry due to stress, with the primary issues being an unrelenting threat from ransomware and the expectations to always be on call or available.

However, there is greater awareness that AI-enabled tools can effectively combat sophisticated attacks such as ransomware. For example, 79% would rather depend on AI than humans to hunt threats, and 47% agree that "they need greater automation through AI/ML to improve security operations." So, how can AI reduce the burden put on security teams?

Justin Vaughan-Brown, VP of Market Insight at Deep Instinct, joins me in a conversation about how AI can be used to reduce the stress experienced by security teams. We discuss why there is so much stress and pressure placed on the C-Suite and the fear felt by those whose decision it is to pay ransom demands.

I learn more about how organizations can stop a cycle of stress and prevent themselves from becoming the victims of ransomware attacks in the first place. Finally, Justin explains why AI has the potential to reduce critical productivity challenges like reducing false positives that will allow teams to focus their time and resources on more critical cyber defense issues.
