Meaning, there are so many alerts firing off…you don’t know which one matters. Advancements in analytics like machine learning coupled with the cloud (scale) have the promise to help.
Anton is the leading voice on this topic as an analyst now product leader at Google. Anuj is the person in the salt mines fighting the good fight. He runs one of the largest security analytics orgs in the world as SFDC. He also represents a modern threat hunter…who bring security, software development and data science together.

Yet, these are all important concepts that leadership in modern organizations need to […]
