In this Brand Story episode on the ITSPmagazine Podcast Network, Terry Ray SVP of Data Security at Imperva, discusses insider threats, AI in data security, and the importance of human intelligence and oversight.
In this Brand Story episode, hosts Marco and Sean discuss data security and insider threats with their guest Terry Ray, field CTO and senior vice president for data security strategy at Imperva. The conversation covers a range of topics related to data security and the challenges organizations face.
Terry highlights the need for clear policies and strategies to detect and prevent insider threats. He points out that while organizations may trust their employees and contractors, people are not always security-minded, which can lead to trouble. He also mentions the presence of malicious individuals, although they are fewer in number.
Terry shares statistics that reveal a gap between organizations' perception of their data security and the reality of lacking comprehensive strategies as the trio explores the potential of AI in data security, with a focus on the limitations of AI in making complex decisions.
Terry emphasizes the importance of human intelligence and oversight, arguing that AI is not yet capable of determining the best course of action in certain scenarios. He gives an example of using AI to compare web application firewalls and points out that AI may not have the context or intelligence to identify what is missing if it hasn't been done before.
The group also discusses the balance between security and convenience, particularly in areas such as the medical field. They consider the advantages and risks of feeding AI with medical data and the potential for AI to find solutions that humans may not have considered.
The conversation sheds light on some important strategies and best practices as well. To dive deeper into this topic and gain valuable insights from industry experts, we encourage you to listen to the full episode.
