Security Unlocked—A new podcast exploring the people and AI that power Microsoft Security solutions - Microsoft Security

It’s hard to keep pace with all the changes happening in the world of cybersecurity. Security experts and leaders must continue learning (and unlearning) to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape. In fact, many of us are in this field because of our desire to continuously challenge...

In first episode they speak with Arie Agranonik, a Senior Data Scientist in the Microsoft Defender ATP Research team.
Arie make a blog post about the podcast topic:

Seeing the big picture: Deep learning-based fusion of behavior signals for threat detection - Microsoft Security

Learn how we're using deep learning to build a powerful, high-precision classification model for long sequences of wide-ranging signals occurring at different times.

Thanks to @Andy Ful, because he first reported about the podcasts:

How the hell WD works on Windows Home & Pro?

They seem to work well together. :) Windows does not detect Comodo firewall, and does not turn it off automatically, which can be seen if you check in Windows Control Panel. But if you install Comodo Internet Security, which has an AV component, then Windows firewall will turn off. Thanks, and...

Episode 4 - How to Catch a Villain with Math

How to Catch a Villian With Math | Security Unlocked

Mike Flowers, Cole Sodja & Justin Carroll, and Dr. Anna Bertiger

This episode shows how different is an attack surface in enterprise networks as compared to the home environment. Much effort is put to filter out the typical network behavior to see if some adversary & non-typical factors are present. The ML models are trained to ignore typical network work and can focus on untypical behavior patterns. These untypical patterns have to be evaluated and the most important behavior patterns are visible for the administrator as informative alerts.
The difference with the home environment is like teaching a thousand musicians to play a cosmic opera as compared to teaching a child to play étude.

Where are the security pros? The analysts? The coders? Etc. ? These are PR types, aren't they?

Much of what the PR people present is based upon Microsoft's Windows Security division infos and external researches - such as Casey Smith, Matt Graeber, Matt Nelson, Alex Ionescu, and many others. Also organizations such as MITRE. These people and organizations, plus their recommended best practices, are referenced in Microsoft Docs as well as internal docs.
