8TH FLOOR MPR
Use Your Words: Communication For Tough Security Transformations
Speakers: Breanne Boland Talk Time: 10:30 AM - 10:55 AM PT
Abstract: It’s great to know what you need to do to make your company or product more secure, but how do you make it happen? Before all the super-cool hacker antics, you have to get people to agree that the work is necessary and that your proposed way is the best way. This means getting everyone on board, including non-engineers, people who aren't sold on what you're proposing, and even colleagues who try to stay out of tech things altogether. How do we convince them? This talk presents strategies to convince people using their language, demonstrate complicated subjects in easier-to- understand ways, and sometimes use outright bribery. At the end, you’ll understand how to shape people’s behavior and use skills you may already have to get the hard work done. Automate What's Working: Shipping Machine Learning Models In Security Speakers: Samantha Zeitlin Talk Time: 11:00 AM - 11:25 AM PT Abstract: If you've ever wondered how machine learning is used to detect malware and advanced persistent threats, this talk is for you. First, data scientists work with threat researchers to understand what features to use, curate training data, prototype a model, and validate the results. Usually, getting the right data is the hardest part. But after that, we still have to package up the model and get it onto the customer's machine, or into their cloud environment. In this talk, I'll walk through how that all works in a production system, including how we and others evaluate how well our models are doing in the real world.
