Bonus Sessions
Using Machine Learning to Reduce the Alert Fatigue

Monday, 4 November | 5:30pm-6:30pm (GST)

Most enterprises today have a number of security tools to support their security operations. In many cases, these tools have a view of what they think are bad and thus produce a large number of alerts. The problem is, the majority of these alerts tend to be false positives rather than true positives. Using machine learning, we can identify those alerts which are more likely to be true positives, thus expending more energy towards these alerts. In this session, we will discuss how you can leverage the SOAR, the SIEM (or any other security tool), Threat Intelligence and case management platforms, to build a machine learning model to aid with reducing the alert fatigue.
