Deep Instinct, the first and only preemptive data security company built on a deep learning cybersecurity framework, prevents unknown threats in <20 milliseconds, 750X faster than the fastest ransomware can encrypt. Deep Instinct Data Security X (DSX) secures data at-rest or in-motion – across cloud, NAS, applications, and endpoints.

Legacy cyber tools are not built for modern threats.

Attackers have turned AI into an autonomous weapon that never stops, never sleeps, and adapts faster than any security team can respond. AI agents can now execute the entire cyber kill chain without human intervention, from reconnaissance and exploitation to lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration. 

While defenders wait for board approvals and vendor updates, criminals are three moves ahead—and gaining speed. The only way to fight back is with AI that's built to win—faster, smarter, more adaptable. So what does defense look like now?

Join us on Wednesday, December 17th at 3 PM GMT / 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT, for a live workshop where we’ll do the following:

- Build AI agents that can orchestrate and execute multi-stage attacks autonomously
- Demonstrate the necessity of deep learning for fighting back
- Reveal how defenders can stay ahead of attackers

See the future of cyber defense in action and learn why speed, accuracy, and adaptability are no longer optional.

Meet the Fully Automated Kill Chain: Legacy Cyber Tools are Dead

Criminals, aided by Dark AI, are ramping up attacks — and defenders are feeling the burn. Alert storms are overwhelming teams; preventing excessive false positives while gaining explainability for the threats that matter is urgent.

Introducing the Deep Instinct Artificial Neural Network Assistant — DIANNA.

Ransomware continues to wreak havoc—and it isn’t going away. What comes next includes an acceleration of attacks due to AI as the threat becomes less about the ransom itself and more about data extortion. 

Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) has enabled less sophisticated threat actors to quickly launch attacks, lowering the bar for cybercriminals. While threat groups like Conti break up into smaller groups and re-emerge acting as offensive startups, scaling quickly for profits.   

Join us on Wednesday, May 24th when our threat research experts, Shaul Vilkomir-Presiman and Brian Black, discuss the following: 
-How threat actor organizations have changed over the last decade 
-Where ransomware is headed based on new research 
-Ways you can prevent ransomware from entering your environment

The Future of AI in Cybersecurity: Machine Learning or Deep Learning?

Since 2021, there has been a sharp rise in malware developed to attack Macs, including ElectroRAT, Silver Sparrow, XLoader, and more. These new malware strains have paved the way for a future with more sophisticated and profitable attacks aimed at macOS. Macs do have several built-in security advantages, but these are becoming less significant because of two trends: malware increasingly targeting browser plugins, not the underlying OS, and malware developers creating cross-platform applications independent of the operating system. In this session, we will explore the gaps and opportunities.
