Putting AI and Machine Learning to Work in IT

Recently I visited with the cybersecurity teams at NTT Communications, British Telecom (BT), and DBS Bank. Each has mature, useful and metrics-driven security solutions. Some of the subtleties of its threat management program are pretty amazing; it feels it can identify characteristics of not only groups of attackers, but actual individuals. BT has an incident response capability that is second to none, driven partly by its interest in combining red team and blue team tactics. These two security teams carefully hone their incident response steps and techniques. All of these companies have taken a unique approach, in that they are upskilling all dedicated security workers to consider not just the defender's dilemma, but also the hacker's dilemma.
