Re: Machine Learning
Good point, @tgulati. It is definitely evolving, and I think this talk should help advance that.

Re: Machine Learning
I would argue that multidimensional analytics achieved via some combination of machine learning and algorithms will advance the capabilities around threat detection. In my experience, the unidimensional rulesets written on single datasets or reliance on singular techniques tend to provide the most number of false positives. Some of the smartest security practitioners are able to apply their knowledge of their networks and cross dataset threat signatures to detect threats. The smarter technologies are the ones that can use similar analytics to get better results. I do believe this fied will continue to evolve and the serious security vendors will focus more on the solution than the unerlying big data technologies.

Re: intereesting
With all the buzz about big data and how security teams can harness the technology to combat threats, this session will definitely be an eye-opener.  For background, check out this blog 6 Tips for Using Big Data to Hunt Cyberthreats, by Timber Wolfe,  Principal Security Engineer, at TrainAC

This should be a very revealing presentation. I would think quite a few enterprise folks would be interested in gaining some insight on machine learning differences, etc.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
