Vendors such as Palo Alto Networks, Trellix and Proofpoint were among many that launched new AI-based security tools and capabilities at the conference this week.
Here are 10 AI cybersecurity tools hot at RSAC 2024.
Dazz: updates to the unified correction platform
Cloud security startup Dazz has unveiled new features for its unified remediation platform, focused on better prioritizing and remediating cloud vulnerabilities. New features include automated code remediation for vulnerabilities in containers as well as AI-based remediation guidance. The updates “will enable cybersecurity teams to use AI and automation to prioritize critical issues, resolve them faster with less human intervention, and present a unified view of vulnerability and risk management to auditors and stakeholders,” the company said in a press release.
Palo Alto Networks: Precision AI
Palo Alto Networks on Tuesday unveiled its new precision AI capabilities across its product portfolio, as well as several tools to protect the use of GenAI itself.
“Today, the security we can offer (to) customers is now delivered through various forms of machine learning and AI to ensure we use cutting-edge technologies to protect you – which we fear bad actors can use to attack. you,” CEO Nikesh Arora said in comments at the announcement event. “The only way to fight AI is with AI. »
Meanwhile, Palo Alto Networks also announced a number of new tools to protect the use of GenAI itself, including AI Access Security to secure the use of AI applications; AI-SPM (security posture management) to identify vulnerabilities in AI models; and AI Runtime Security for protection against runtime threats such as rapid injections.
Additionally, Palo Alto Networks announced three copilot assistants powered by GenAI: Strata Copilot, Prisma Cloud Copilot, and Cortex Copilot.
Trellix Sage
Trellix has announced a new suite of AI and GenAI capabilities, Trellix Wise, aimed at enhancing cyber risk reduction using its expanded Detection and Response (XDR) platform. Trellix Wise “extends across the entire Trellix XDR platform to discover and neutralize threats more effectively while reducing security operations costs,” the company said in a press release. Key features include workflow automation as well as improved efficiency for analysts and enhanced threat prevention, detection, remediation and investigation, according to Trellix.
Protecting AI: Line of Sight
Protect AI announced a new database for vulnerabilities affecting AI/ML supply chains. The database differs from traditional vulnerability offerings by “providing in-depth insights into known and emerging AI/ML vulnerabilities,” coupled with an early warning system that allows organizations to protect against threats “on average 30 days before they appear in the national vulnerability database. (NVD),” the company said in a press release. The offering builds on Protect AI’s acquisition of Huntr and ultimately provides a “comprehensive vulnerability database that outperforms traditional sources with original security research tailored to AI and ML technologies”, the company said in the release.
Adaptive Shield: SSPM abilities
Adaptive Shield has introduced new SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) capabilities that provide detection and response for AI-driven applications, aiming to reduce GenAI risks. Key features include security posture capabilities for AI applications; hygiene and risk rating; “detailed” security controls that are “filterable by domain, severity or compliance framework”; and AI configurations to help control AI-related security settings, the vendor said.
SentinelOne: automatic investigation
SentinelOne has launched a major new automated investigation capability on its Singularity platform, powered by its Purple AI technology. Auto-Investigation is “where Purple does the investigation on your behalf,” Ric Smith, SentinelOne’s chief product and technology officer, told CRN.
Security operations center teams are “overloaded with alerts,” Smith said. “We’re trying to make sure that this (technology) can carry out the investigation on behalf of the analyst. It’s basically about reducing the backlog and reducing risk, which has never been done before.
Proofpoint: LLM-based detection
Proofpoint has unveiled new features for its email security offerings, including LLM-based detection that scans emails before delivery, as well as after delivery and at the time of a click. The new features take just milliseconds to scan emails before delivery, Proofpoint CEO Sumit Dhawan told CRN in an interview at RSAC.
But then, “our models continue to work after delivery so we can continue to check – and within a minute of delivery, before anyone reads (an email), we can take it down.” This is a first in the industry,” said Dhawan.
Torq HyperSOC
Security hyperautomation company Torq introduced its recently launched HyperSOC offering, which allows organizations to automate, manage and monitor “critical SOC responses at machine speed,” the company said in a press release. press. Using natural language processing, the offering can initiate and accelerate investigations into security events while assisting with triage and resolution, Torq said. HyperSOC ultimately delivers “comprehensive case management capabilities with unprecedented ease” as well as automation of complex processes, according to the company.
Deep instinct: DIANNA
Deep Instinct launched its Artificial Neural Network Assistant (DIANNA), which the company called “the first AI-based cybersecurity companion that helps explain unknown threats.” DIANNA enables a “prevention-focused” approach to security by offering enhanced static malware analysis that “no other solution on the market can replicate,” the company said.
SlashNext GenAI for spam and Graymail
SlashNext has announced what it calls the “first spam and graymail detection and filtering solution” leveraging generative AI, with the launch of SlashNext GenAI for Spam and Graymail. The offering offers improved accuracy with “near zero” false positive rates, the company said. The tool uses AI classifiers that are “specifically trained to identify different categories of spam and unwanted graymail, such as marketing ads, sales campaigns, newsletters, and announcements,” the vendor said in a statement Press.
