BUGLAB: Cybersecurity Penetration Testing on the Ethereum Blockchain
Cybersecurity is defined by its evolving nature. Both sides – the threat actors and the defenders – constantly innovate. In part, it’s why there are so many security vendors with so many products – there’s a lot of ground to cover and new threats appear every day. I believe the biggest challenge for cybersecurity organizations inside companies large and small results from two megatrends: (1) the exponential growth in data from business systems and the security sensors meant to protect those businesses and (2) the extreme and growing shortage of skilled cybersecurity personnel to analyze and respond to incidents illuminated by this data. Consequently, the industry’s challenge is to find a way to weave together the information contained in all that data without relying on people to connect all the dots. And while advances in machine learning have shown early promise in organizing and finding anomalies in large data sets, this “alert refinement” only provides incremental gains...
