Talk Details
Enhancing Incident Response with AI: Leveraging ML for OT/IoT/IIoT Attack Detection and Prevention
As cyber threats progressively target Operational Technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems, traditional defenses wrestle to keep pace. This talk introduces how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can redefine incident response in these domains by enabling predictive detection and rapid response. Through portrayals of applied research and real-world datasets from the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA), I will demonstrate how the Data Science Lifecycle can be applied to build predictive ML models that identify anomalies, patterns, and attack trends over IIoT networks. The session introduces the IIoT Guardian prototype, a device-level cybersecurity solution that integrates ML/AI for real-time anomaly detection.
