Weak Supervision and Next-Gen AI-Based Threat Detection

Explore the application of weak supervision in network security threat detection through this 27-minute conference talk by Arista Distinguished Data Scientist Debabrata Dash. Discover how weak supervision offers an alternative approach to utilizing security analysts' heuristics for identifying threats in massive network data. Learn about the challenges of applying traditional machine learning to network security, including the vast number of possible threats and limited labeled attack samples. Understand the limitations of current approaches that rely on unsupervised techniques and manual heuristic execution. Examine a prototype that applies weak supervision to the cyber-security domain, pushing heuristics to raw data for building more efficient models with predictable accuracy. Gain insights into the exciting results of this innovative approach to AI-based threat detection.
