Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, presented a radical vision of cyber defense at InfoSec World 2016, Orlando, yesterday, where ‘immune system’-inspired technology can automatically find and respond to evolving cyber-threats.

IT Security Architect at Steelcase, Stuart Berman, joined Sean O’Connor, Director at Darktrace on the conference stage as a guest speaker, to discuss how enterprises can tackle the cyber security challenges of tomorrow.

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of corporate office environments, Steelcase is known for embracing new technology and innovation, and was quick to recognize the importance of adopting new models of security.

Speaking at the InfoSec World Conference in Florida yesterday, Stuart Berman, who has over 20 years’ experience in information security, shared his views on the future of cyber defense.

“Math and machine learning are an important part of advanced threat defense, in the context of today’s fast-moving, distributed work environments,” Berman commented. “Machine learning can detect things that we can’t predict and define. It’s like finding a needle in an enormous haystack.”

“Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System technology is inspired by the human immune system, and has quickly become the de facto solution for advanced threat detection and defense,” said Sean O’Connor, Director, Darktrace. “By establishing a ‘pattern of life’ for every device, user and network within an organization, Darktrace is capable of uncovering subtle threats from within the network, which bypass traditional tools.”

Darktrace is an official sponsor of InfoSec World Conference & Expo 2016, which takes place from April 4–6.
