Vortrag


Die Fakultät für Informatik der Universität Wien lädt Sie in Kooperation mit Microsoft, SBA Research und dem KIRAS-Projekt CERT Komm 2 herzlich ein zum CS-Colloquium mit Robert Hayes (Microsoft, Chief Cybersecurity Advisor for Europe).

Abstract

Robert Hayes, a Senior Director with Microsoft’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Group, will describe the current cyber threat landscape, outline why many organisations are struggling to effectively respond to the threat, and describe how organisations can easily & cheaply develop a strategic response built around the concept of Protect, Detect & Respond.

He will then describe how Microsoft is collecting & analysing trillions of events every day, and using cloud scale machine learning to identify and quickly respond to emerging threats across the company’s infrastructure. Robert will argue that such cloud scale analytics are key to any security strategy.

Finally, Robert will describe why trust is critical in the development of a security strategy, and how organisations should consider who and what they trust, and whether that trust should be conditional or absolute. There will also be plenty of time for questions from the audience.
