Adaptive Security: Moving Beyond Rule-Based Defences

Description:Traditional security systems rely on fixed rules and static thresholds, which often fail when environments change rapidly. Adaptive security aims to address this by adjusting defences in real time based on observed behavior. The presentation explains the concept of adaptability in security systems, showing how it has been applied in areas such as spam filtering, fraud detection, and network intrusion monitoring. It then explores why serverless and cloud-native environments are especially in need of adaptive methods due to their unpredictability and scale. By highlighting the gap between static defences and dynamic threats, the session emphasises the importance of flexible, learning-driven approaches for the future of cybersecurity.
