Episode notes
Marketing Language at RSA
- Tim and Anton noticed competing marketing language at RSA, from buzzwords like "AI-powered" to more subdued claims of "optimal" tools.
- They found both approaches lacking and preferred neither extreme.
AI Use-Case Discovery
- The cybersecurity industry is currently in a use-case discovery phase for AI, particularly generative AI.
- While some use cases like malware analysis show promise, others, like automated detection rule generation, are less effective.
XDR Decline and Legacy Tool Use
- XDR (Extended Detection and Response) appears to be declining in popularity at RSA, possibly falling into the "trough of disillusionment."
- Despite the hype around newer technologies, many organizations still rely on older tools and technologies, like email security and DLP.
