Threat Detection Using Artificial Intelligence

Good morning everyone! Welcome to the 2019 AWS Public Sector Summit in Singapore. My name is Meredith Honey, and I'll be one of your room hosts for today's event. Before we get started, I have a few housekeeping items to go over. The emergency exit is located to my right, and the bathrooms are down the hall to the left. Please make sure your phones are on silent. If you haven't already, you can download the app to schedule your day and provide feedback. The Sessions will be recorded, and you can scan your badge at the exit to receive a copy of the content.

Now, I would like to introduce our speaker for today, On Couche Chowdhury from AWS. He will be presenting on the topic of threat detection using artificial intelligence.

Introduction

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, organizations face numerous security challenges. Advanced threats, limited visibility, and compliance issues are just a few of the concerns that businesses and managed security service providers (MSSPs) encounter. In order to address these challenges, AWS has developed a solution that leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for threat detection. This article explores the background of the solution, its key features, and the benefits it provides.

Background of the Solution

The development of this solution has been a collaborative journey with customers and MSSPs. By working closely with them, AWS gained insights into the common challenges faced in threat detection. Traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions are often hampered by scalability and architectural constraints. The solution aims to provide a consolidated view of threat detection by removing these limitations and leveraging cloud scalability.

Common Security Challenges

Organizations and MSSPs face a myriad of security challenges, including limited visibility, an overwhelming number of security events, and the need for automation. SIEM solutions, though effective in certain scenarios, have limitations when it comes to scalability and architectural constraints. The lack of skilled personnel in security operations centers (SOCs) further compounds the issue.

Solution Overview

The AWS solution for threat detection addresses the limitations of traditional SIEM solutions. It is designed to provide a multi-tenant environment with a user-friendly interface for seamless onboarding. The solution utilizes advanced analytics and AI techniques, such as neural networks, deep learning, statistical-based models, and graph databases. By leveraging AWS native capabilities, it can Collect and analyze logs from various environments, including on-premises data centers and third-party cloud providers.

Key Features of the Solution

The AWS solution offers a range of key features that make it a powerful tool for threat detection:

1. Multi-tenancy: The solution supports multiple customers or business units within an organization, as well as MSSPs managing multiple customers.
2. Scalability: The solution can Scale from as small as one gigabyte to petabyte scale, ensuring it can meet the needs of organizations of all sizes.
3. Advanced Analytics and AI: The solution incorporates advanced analytics and AI techniques to detect and predict both known and unknown threats.
4. Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and Indicators of Attack (IOAs): The solution can detect both known compromises and potential attack indicators, providing organizations with proactive threat management capabilities.

Deep Learning and Threat Detection

The solution utilizes deep learning algorithms and the Cyber Kill Chain framework to detect and predict threats. By mapping the Cyber Kill Chain stages to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, the solution can identify potential attacks at various stages. This approach enables the solution to detect not only known threats but also new and evolving attack techniques.

Data Collection and Transformation

To ensure comprehensive threat detection, the solution supports the collection of logs from various sources, including on-premises data centers, satellite offices, and third-party cloud providers. A machine learning-based log parser is built into the solution, ensuring logs are transformed into a structured format without the need for custom parsers. This flexibility allows organizations to quickly adapt and bring logs from different environments into the solution.

Integration with Threat Intelligence Providers

The solution integrates seamlessly with threat intelligence providers, such as Recorded Future and Cyber. Organizations can easily add their preferred threat intelligence feeds, enriching the data and enhancing threat detection capabilities. The solution also allows for the integration of other security and incident response tools, such as SIEM and ticketing systems.

Managing the Operations Center

The solution provides a user-friendly dashboard for managing the operations center. Security analysts can view and assign incidents, change incident status, and access threat intelligence information directly from the dashboard. The solution supports reporting and provides integration with ticketing systems, enabling efficient incident response and management.

Conclusion

The AWS solution for threat detection using artificial intelligence offers a comprehensive and scalable approach to address the common security challenges faced by organizations and MSSPs. By utilizing advanced analytics, deep learning, and integration capabilities, the solution provides proactive and effective threat detection capabilities. With its user-friendly interface and flexible deployment options, organizations can easily onboard and customize the solution to their specific needs.
