Chris Stephen on What Separates Cylance from the Herd

For over a century, IBM has urged the world to “Think.” In 1997, Apple challenged the world to “Think Different.” In 2012, Cylance picked up that mantle and charged at the Cybersecurity world with a different approach to protecting endpoints. Was this legit? Is Cylance actually doing things differently in a way that is improving cybersecurity and not just renaming existing approaches?

Chris Stephen is on the front lines of the ongoing battle to protect datacenters and networks worldwide. He is a  Sales Engineer who works in the government and education sector and thus sees the kind of targeted attacks that can cripple a municipality and cause real damage to the nation’s infrastructure.

In this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, guest host Matt Stephenson talks with Chris about what Cylance is doing that is so fundamentally different from the old guard of the cybersecurity industry and the new kids trying to make a splash. Are Cylance’s claims about Artificial Intelligence real? Tune in and judge for yourself.
