Why OpenAI is calling for a ‘cyber defense surge.’ Plus: Find Evil! winners and TeamPCP losers
Explore the podcast → https://ibm.biz/~LR5oerBlh IBM, OpenAI and 100 other organizations released an open letter calling for collective action on cyber defense. On episode 49 of Security Intelligence, Michelle Alvarez, Nick Bradley and J.R. Rao join host Matt Kosinski to explore what a “global cyber defense surge” could—and should—look like. And speaking of collective action on cyber defense: The SANS Institute named the winners of its Find Evil! hackathon last week. The five autonomous incident response agents are now available on the SIFT Workstation. We discuss the results and what the hackathon’s success means for the future of autonomous agents in cybersecurity. Finally: Flare unmasked a couple of the alleged leaders of the notorious hacking gang TeamPCP. We look at how they did it, and what the rest of us can learn from it. All that and more on Security Intelligence. 00:00 - Intro 1:19 - OpenAI’s open letter 12:22 - Find Evil! winners 22:03 - TeamPCP takedown "The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of IBM or any other organization or entity.
