In Australia to visit customers, partners and government officials in early March, Recorded Future’s VP of Product, Jamie Zajac, not only attended local events around intelligence, critical infrastructure security and more, but also joined me for a discussion on the past, present and future – so please watch, and read on!
Recorded Future bills itself as “the world’s largest intelligence company,” and was the first to launch an AI solution for intelligence last year, which is currently used by organisations and countries who defend the core infrastructure that society depends on.
The company’s Intelligence Cloud provides end-to-end intelligence across adversaries, infrastructure, and targets, indexing the Internet across the open web, dark web, and technical sources. This enables Recorded Future to provide real-time visibility into an expanding attack surface and threat landscape, resulting in more than 1700 empowered clients globally, able to act with speed and confidence to reduce risk and securely drive business forward, across more than 75 countries.
In mid-February 2024, the company expanded these capabilities with the launch of Enterprise AI for Intelligence.
With the current economic, geopolitical and cyber threat scenes getting more complex, AI has become instrumental in detecting the wide range of threats organisations and governments/nations as a whole are under, as well as building intelligence that can help prevent and mitigate these.
In the video interview embedded below, Jamie Zajac shared insights into:
– The current threats organisations and governments, including in Australia, will face in 2024 (including in the fields of cyber, geopolitical and economic threats
– The business application of threat intelligence and how Recorded Future is working with its customers to help identify threats and mitigate them, including using AI
– How AI, if used correctly, can help augment humans and defend democracy against converging threats
More information is below, but first, here’s our video interview!
So, what is more on the new Enterprise AI for Intelligence capability? In mid-february 2024, Recorded Future’s AI emerged out of beta to augment humans and defend democracy against converging global threats, with new enterprise capabilities offering every analyst across an organisation a powerful generative AI-based assistant for intelligence and defence, as well as the ability to software define very large enterprise threat surfaces in physical and cyber space and use those in AI analytics.
As the company explains, effective threat intelligence is predicated upon the ability to process vast amounts of data, in real time, coming from varied and disparate sources, thereby requiring the use of AI – which is a great example of AI being used to defend us against attackers, who have now also empowered themselves with their own AI solution.
Further, the company states: “Built on the Intelligence Graph, the world’s largest intelligence holdings, Recorded Future AI was the first-to-market AI solution for intelligence, built by an AI-native company, and is used by the world’s foremost organisations and countries who defend the core infrastructure that society depends on.
“Contextualising the rapid onslaught of converging, AI-driven threats across cyber, physical, and influence operations domains, Recorded Future AI understands and helps explore the threat landscape in real time, enabling defenders to quickly gain situational awareness and take action.”
Dr. Christopher Ahlberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Recorded Future noted: “As AI is woven into every facet of society – no government or organisation will be immune to its advantages and implications.
“The urgency for defenders to work at the pace of today’s technological advancements is only growing. Our Intelligence Cloud has been compounding in speed, all-encompassing intelligence, and the ability to offer situational awareness against global threats for over a decade. Recorded Future AI keeps defenders moving at the speed of AI.”
Summary of the video interview’s topics:
– In the video interview above, I started by introducing Jamie, and asked her to recap for us what Recorded Future does, what being an intelligence company means, and the short version of how the company does its work.
– Next, we delved into Recorded Futures products and services, and whether this included any Internet security services, or whether the information provided helped companies and organisations make better use of the suite of technologies already deployed to protect those entities.
– Explaining the types of customers Recorded Future catered to, we then moved into a discussion on AI, and after which we further explored the company’s new Enterprise AI for Intelligence capabilities.
– Touching on the importance of looking after the mental wellbeing of hard working staff that are under constant attack, and the concept of defending our defenders, Jamie then looking into the future of the company, shared more important information on what else we needed to know, and what a day in the life of a VP of Product was like.
– When then finished with my customary questions on memories of her first personal computer, great advice received in life worth sharing, and Jamie’s final message to the viewers and readers
So, please watch the video above for more!
