Demisto co-founder on how bots and big data can automate away mundanity for security teams

Enterprise startup Demisto isn't trying to solve the vast problem space of cybersecurity, but rather to make life better for the professionals who spend their days neck-deep in security alerts, putting out fires both real and imagined. It's a hard problem to tackle because of the vast array of tools and product security teams need to work with, but Demisto thinks its bot-based (aka ChatOps) platform is the best way to start. In this episode of the ARCHITECHT AI and Robot Show, Demisto co-founder Rishi Bhargava explains how the company's technology works by learning how its customers resolve problems, and then helping automate remediation when similar problems arise in the future. Among other things, Bhargava talks about why the company takes a simple approach to machine learning; the value of looking at security as a human-centric problem; how bots not only automate actions, but aggregate immense amounts of activity data; and why the biggest things companies can do today is bring order to their security operations, automate what can be automated, and prioritize what's truly important to protect.
