Maximizing the Impact of AI/ML Threat Detection Tools By Cary Wright, VP Product Management, Endace Companies are increasingly looking to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) threat detection tools to improve the security posture of the enterprise. AI/ML shows great promise to detect previously invisible advanced persistent threats, insider activity, and new and emerging threats. These tools promise to detect threats that traditional network security tools miss by taking a radically different 14
approach to analyzing network activity. This alternate method of uncovering security threats may prove to be a pivotal technology in the struggle to protect critical infrastructure, important assets and sensitive data. However, AI/ML threat detection tools require a significant investment in time and resources to deploy correctly to each environment. It’s not enough to just throw them into an infrastructure: we need to make sure that we can trust the technology, and that it’s attuned to our environment. It’s imperative to make sure that it is deployed in such a way that increases efficiency, provides greater clarity into lurking threats, and reduces the number of alerts we investigate every day, rather than simply adding additional noise and workload to already overstretched security teams. The promise of AI and ML Adopting AI/ML threat detection tools is not about replacing existing security tools. Rather, it’s about supplementing them with AI/ML to deliver additional capability and benefits. AI/ML threat detection tools have the potential to significantly improve detection by identifying threats that other tools can't, especially at the earliest stages of the attack lifecycle. They can potentially detect emerging unknown threats such as Zero-day vulnerabilities - for which there are no existing ‘signatures’ - or threats that signature-based tools struggle to detect - such as fileless malware. And they can help associate related events to identify coordinated attack activity that might indicate a high priority threat while reducing the amount of “noise” caused by lots of individual event alerts. Their ability to detect abnormal behavior also enables them to spot potentially malicious “insider threats” other tools may miss. The other potential benefit that AI/ML tools offer is to improve productivity by automating elements of the threat remediation process - particularly for commonly occurring threats - and thereby free up time for analysts to focus on the high-priority and more advanced threats. Ultimately, AI/ML tools have the potential to automate many of the manual activities involved in SecOps, such as isolating suspected compromised hosts from the network and blocking access to the network from potentially compromised devices or users. The challenge is, however, that in order for security teams to hand over responsibility for these sorts of activities to an AI/ML tool, they need to be able to trust that tool to make the right decisions and know how it arrived at its decision. Otherwise, the danger is that 15
