Title of presentation
Finding Evil with AIMI
Abstract (250 words)
Artificially Intelligent Monitoring Interfaces (AIMI’s) have come leaps and bounds over the past year, thanks in part to the rise in alert fatigue facing security analysts. Bringing first-hand experience from developing AIMI’s, this presentation looks at the challenges of teaching AIMI’s to find evil through super advanced but beautifully simple machine learning algorithms, and explores the benefits of using them in a live monitoring environment to decrease the false positive rate of security alerts.
