Optimise Security ROI for Today’s Threat Landscape

Presented at Black Hat Europe 2017, Dec. 6, 2017, 10:15 a.m. (25 minutes)

Organizations are investing in cybersecurity on an unprecedented scale and spending is reaching unsustainable levels as boards tire of endless requests to increase the budget. Yet the number of security breaches and overall cost of cybercrime is on the rise—a massive US$21.2 million in the last year on average for the US. Organizations need to recognize that spending alone does not always equate to value. Many organizations are spending too much on the wrong technologies. Making wise security investments in breakthrough security technologies like advanced analytics and artificial intelligence can help to make a difference and better protect organizations in today’s threat landscape.
