Darktrace today announced the launch of the Cyber AI Analyst, a new technology that emulates human thought processes to continuously investigate cyber-threats at machine speed. With the power to transform the security industry, early adopters of this technology reported a 92% reduction in the time required to investigate threats and provide conclusions to executives.
This ground-breaking innovation is the culmination of over three years of research at the Darktrace R&D Center in Cambridge, UK. Using various forms of machine learning, including unsupervised, supervised, and deep learning, the technology learned human intuition and trade craft from more than 100 world-class cyber analysts across thousands of customer deployments.
Typically, a human analyst will spend anywhere between half an hour and half a day investigating a single suspicious security incident. They look for patterns, form hypotheses, reach conclusions about how to mitigate the threat, and share the findings with the rest of the business. Darktrace’s Cyber AI Analyst accelerates this process, continuously conducting investigations behind the scenes and operating at a speed and scale beyond human capabilities.
By learning from the millions of interactions between Darktrace’s expert analysts and Darktrace’s flagship solution, the Enterprise Immune System, the Cyber AI Analyst combines human expertise with the consistency, speed, and scalability of AI. The ability of AI to investigate every possibility, make connections between seemingly disparate events, and quickly illuminate the full scope of a security incident dramatically reduces ‘time to meaning’ and buys back time for human teams.

#Fail: Tesla App Outage Locked Some Owners Out of Their Cars For Hours
Posted in Commentary with tags Tesla on September 4, 2019 by itnerdSome Tesla owners who depended on the app to unlock their cars were left scrambling for their physical keys yesterday when the app went down for maintenance:
A Tesla spokesperson confirmed to Gizmodo that Tesla’s app was temporarily unavailable on Monday but full functionality was soon restored. Tweets suggest the app was down for around three hours at least.
The company clarified that Tesla owners were still able to access their Model 3 with their physical key fob or key cards, which the company encourages owners to carry in the event that they lose their phone or it dies. Owners were also able to gain access to and start their cars through their mobile devices if they had activated the phone-as-key function, which uses Bluetooth Low Energy to connect with the car and doesn’t rely on the app.
However, Model 3 owners who don’t carry a key fob or key card, and don’t use the phone-as-key feature, and who only use the Tesla in-app lock and unlock feature that requires cell signals will be temporarily screwed when the app fails.
I guess this underlines the fact that using your phone to do stuff is great. But it isn’t perfect. Thus if you own a Tesla, you should always keep your physical keys on your person as something like this is likely to happen again.
