SA firms turn to 'hunting' to fight cybercrime

In the first of several TechCentral podcast interviews diving into cybersecurity issues, TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod sat down with Jacques Louw, director and head of cyber defence at MWR InfoSecurity in South Africa, to talk about how companies, especially in the financial services sector, are turning to "threat hunting" techniques to fight cyber criminals. In the podcast, Louw talks about how the cybersecurity landscape is changing, how threat hunting is augmenting traditional cybersecurity techniques, what's in the threat hunter's toolbox and the future role that artificial intelligence and machine learning will play in the fight against cybercrime.
