While obscurity is an offensive tool for attackers, it also represents a defensive measure for organizations. Let’s consider the benefits of concealing network infrastructure and activity from the outside world to reduce the enterprise attack surface.

The best defense in depth strategy is one that enables multiple tools, deployed across the distributed network—including endpoints, clouds, and applications—to work as a unified solution to detect and respond to threats.

Even if the best strategies and policies are created and uniformly agreed upon across all government and private sector domains, none of that will matter if the talent to execute does not exist.

Using Machine Learning (ML) with AI means that security tools can be trained to work better with data and the ML system will be able to make recommendations for improvements.
