Episode Description
Julian Waits, one of the most experienced Cyber Security Executives in the industry, appears on Episode #88 of Task Force 7 Radio to talk about how a properly defined Threat Hunting Operation should be defined and run. He also tells the audience what he thinks is the biggest problem in Cyber Security today, he opines on where Insider Threat Operations should lie in the IS organization, and if more data is always better when it comes to predictive analytics. Host George Rettas also asks Julian how important it is for an analyst to be able to visualize data to be able to process it real time, how next generation security tools go about prioritization, if it is really feasible to achieve real time identification and mitigation of cyber threats, and if scalability continues to be one of the biggest problems for tooling in large organizations. The duo also tackles the issue of centralizing the data analytics efforts of the AML, Fraud, and Security domains.
