That’s interesting. Not sure it makes sense for Cylance in the long run. > BlackBerry to acquire AI-powered cybersecurity startup Cylance for $1.4 billion https://t.co/n5Kq9GGG2e

Speaking of #reInvent2018, this year it’s so complex, confusing, and frustrating to build an agenda that I keep procrastinating an exhaustive review of all sessions available (not smart).

The more friction you introduce in your product, the more you slow down adoption and use.

One of the most interesting sessions of @awscloud #reInvent2018 for me is “Using AWS Lambda as a security team”. It might align surprisingly well with what we are trying to achieve with @Ansible Security Automation.

I hope it’s not a disappointment.

4 hours conversation on the roadmap for @Ansible Security Automation, talking about new use cases and what additional security solutions and vendors to support. Exciting.

Fascinating quotes from this remarkable article: ““Prediction is really the hallmark of intelligence,” Efros said, “and we are constantly predicting and hallucinating things that are not actually visible.” In a sense, synthesizing is simply imagining.”

Fascinating quotes from this remarkable article: “In theory, a forger could integrate his forensic network into a gan, where—as a discriminator—it could train a generator to synthesize images capable of eluding its detection.”

Fascinating quotes from this remarkable article: “I’ve heard people talk about how we might land at a ‘zero trust’ model, where by default you believe nothing.”

One of the problems with #AI adoption, tho, is that it is often driven by (very competent and) enthusiastic practicioners. I have been asked many times to advice on how to focus the AI innovation on concrete use cases with a business value.

No surprise. The early stages of new technologies waves always come with inflated expectations that get disappointed. Then somebody succeds and drives the second wave of adoption. It happened with cloud, too > Businesses will scale back on #AI in 2019 https://t.co/GuOZQAqSK9

I often talk about #AI, digital forensics and what I call “post real” era. This impossibly long article is all about it. A must-read.
