July 2016 Meeting - ISSA OC

Dr. Sven Krasser currently serves as Chief Scientist at CrowdStrike where he leads the machine learning efforts utilizing CrowdStrike's Big Data platform. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and is co-inventor on more than two dozen patented network and host security technologies. Machine learning is presently a hot topic in the security industry. On the one side, we have companies praising machine learning as the panacea solving all of our security needs. On the other side, there are companies seeing no merit in machine learning urging us to stay with so-called proven approaches.
