Cybersecurity requires more than just technology -- GCN

Cybersecurity is increasingly supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, but humans are still required to interpret the data, federal agency data officers said at a recent AFCEA Bethesda panel. The amount of data generated by AI and machine learning cybersecurity tools is staggering, panelists said. Those automated tools that are tackling repetitive monitoring work are producing bytes by the trillion. Even at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, "we're bringing in terabytes of log data per day, and we're not a particularly large agency," said Adrian Monza, USCIS deputy chief information security officer and chief security architect. "You have to have data scientists" to make sense of it, he added.
