Stephan Jou, CTO of Interset, Micro Focus discusses the distinct ways in which cyber-attacks can be dealt with & AI can be leveraged to bring in governance & fairness
1. Tell us about your role at Micro Focus.
I am the CTO of Interset – the AI and ML division supporting our security solutions and portfolio – at Micro Focus.
2. What are the applications or rather opportunities you seek to have with your service?
We catch bad guys with math! Our teams use effective analytical methods, such as statistical learning, supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised ML, advanced visualizations, and other principled approaches specifically for cybersecurity use cases, to help the most important organizations in the world become more cyber resilient.
3. What are some of the unique lessons you have learnt from analysing your customer behaviour?
Behind every cyber-attack is always a human, and humans are remarkably predictable. Even if a human uses AI for launching a cyber campaign, there are characteristics of Motivation, Targeting and Mission that remain detectable. The predictability of human behaviour makes it possible for us to use quantitative approaches to detect clues within even the most sophisticated attacks. AI is not a silver bullet of course, but when properly implemented, it can be a remarkably effective tool.
