“If threat actors are utilising the power of AI, how do we as defenders also utilise the power of AI? Part of that is being able to look across multiple disparate data sets, multiple different technology uses, and understand the patterns in that behaviour, and being able to pinpoint and identify what the threat actors are doing.”
