Silo Busting 12: Catching Up on Fast Data with Mark Makary and Sam Rehman

Fast data is something else. The data from IoT, gaming, and media streaming needs to be collected and quickly analyzed by companies in order to make smart business decisions. Not every company understands how this works… though they all should learn. Fortunately, Mark Makary, CTO and Co-Founder of Logic Keepers—and our guest on Silo Busting—understands. The latest #CybersecurityByDesign episode of our podcast finds Makary and Sam Rehman, our Chief Information Security Officer and SVP, burrowing deep and into this tricky subject. Makary says there are “a lot of business cases where you can use fast data to process events coming to you, including security” and that its predictive analytics are like a crystal ball. But Makary also warns: “This business advantage has also a window of opportunity,” and if you wait too long “you might actually lose the business benefits and that will diminish the return.” Note: This is a high-level and sometimes technical conversation. For those of you who are looking to learn more about how machine learning works here, for both the good guys and bad guys; the danger areas of fast data attacks; and the problems of model poisoning, the time has come to plug in your AirPods.
