September 26, 2024

NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WebMD today announced the recipients of the 2024 WebMD Health Hero Awards, recognizing individuals who are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transform healthcare. This year’s theme, “AI in Medicine” highlights how AI is being used to address critical health challenges, offering innovative solutions for diagnosing, treating, and preventing serious conditions.

The 2024 WebMD Health Hero Award recipients exemplify how AI is reshaping the future of medicine, offering hope and saving lives in ways previously unimaginable. They are:

David Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc – Finding Existing Drugs to Treat Rare Diseases With AI
A physician-scientist at the University of Pennsylvania and co-founder of EveryCure.org, Fajgenbaum used AI to identify an existing kidney transplant drug that treated his own rare condition, saving his life. His groundbreaking AI-driven research has also identified 16 other treatments for diseases that these drugs weren’t originally intended for. His personal journey, research, and discoveries have been widely published in scientific journals, as well as in his best-selling book.Suchi Saria, PhD – New AI Tool to Help Prevent Sepsis Deaths in Hospitals
Saria, the founding research director at the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare at Johns Hopkins, developed an AI tool that has reduced the risk of sepsis-related deaths in hospitals by 20 percent. After losing her nephew to sepsis, Saria committed to creating this life-saving technology, which can detect sepsis nearly 6 hours earlier than traditional methods. Her work is already saving lives in hospitals across the country.Regina Barzilay, PhD – MIRAI: Predicting Breast Cancer Risk Years in Advance
Barzilay, a Distinguished Professor at MIT, developed MIRAI, an AI tool that predicts breast cancer risk years before the disease appears on mammograms. MIRAI analyzes mammograms to assess future risk, especially in aggressive cancers that affect younger women. Validated on data from over 200,000 exams, MIRAI has proven more accurate than previous methods in predicting cancer risk across diverse groups. Prospective trials are underway to showcase its potential benefits in tailored screenings.

“Artificial Intelligence is reshaping healthcare in profound ways, saving lives and improving patient outcomes,” said Dr. John Whyte, Chief Medical Officer of WebMD. “This year’s Health Heroes are leading the way in AI innovation, and we are honored to recognize their achievements.”

PRE Security Inc. Announces Major Update with XDR and Enhanced SOC Assistant; Presenting at Cyber Security World Asia in Singapore

Published

October 4, 2024

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PRE Security, the world’s first Predictive AI Security Operations (SecOps) solution company, has released an updated version of its groundbreaking product, now introducing next generation Open XDR Detect & Respond capabilities. The company will be presenting the new release and functionality along with its predictive vision for SecOps at Cyber Security World Asia 2024 at the Marina Bay Sands Exhibition Center in Singapore next week as part of Tech Week Singapore.

PREdictive Vision
Predictive AI cybersecurity is a proactive approach that leverages predictive analytics and generative AI. Now with the inclusion of XDR detections, PRE Security provides an end to end SecOps solution that covers the entire stack from universal data collection, processing, multi-dimensional correlation, detections, and predictive analytics capabilities.

“With the ability to now detect existing attacks as well as predict future threats and vulnerabilities, security professionals have the opportunity to prevent or preemptively respond to attacks before they infiltrate network infrastructure, compromise valuable data and assets, or otherwise harm the organization,” said Paul Jespersen, co-founder of PRE Security. “Our predictive vision is a major “shift left,” not just towards zero, but to before zero, completely redefining security operations strategy and capabilities.”

Re-imagining XDR with the PRE Security CyberLLM™
At the heart of PRE Security’s groundbreaking new XDR capability lies the CyberLLM™. More than just another co-pilot or general purpose GPT, the CyberLLM is a domain-specific, purpose-built language model specifically designed for cybersecurity. This innovative AI engine powers Multi-Dimensional XDR Detections that unlock unparalleled coverage across all MITRE ATT&CK Tactics and Techniques. Unlike generic AI models, the CyberLLM is meticulously trained on cybersecurity specific material, including:

MITRE and NIST cybersecurity frameworks and guidelinesExtensive threat intelligence (including predictive intelligence)Comprehensive vulnerability databases (CVE’s etc.)and more

This focused training ensures that the CyberLLM possesses deep, contextual understanding of the cybersecurity landscape, enabling it to identify and correlate threats with unprecedented context and accuracy.

Breaking the Limits of Traditional XDR
While conventional XDR products are constrained by rigid, pre-defined integrations and limited pre-built detections, PRE Security’s generative approach is revolutionary. It leverages the CyberLLM’s advanced capabilities to analyze and correlate data across all organizational systems and data sources and build multi-dimensional correlations with maximum context. And with the ability to bring in logs and data from any source without pre-built parsers or integrations using patent pending Log2NLP technology, PRE Security delivers truly Open XDR for the first time in the industry, finally fulfilling the early promise of XDR to enable complex correlations across all data.

Enhanced SOC Assistant
The SOC Assistant capabilities have also been enhanced in the latest release. In addition to the built in SOCGPT™ interface that enables natural language interaction with an organization’s entire data set, the platform now has automated Prioritize and Triage features that provide valuable investigative information and all related context, reducing the need for analysts to perform in-depth manual investigations, summarizations, and reporting on every alert.

Cyber Security Week Asia Presentation and Keynote
PRE Security will be exhibiting along with local launch partner NGEN Technologies. John “JP” Peterson, co-founder and inventor of the PRE Security platform will be presenting the platform and discussing predictive cybersecurity on Thursday, the 10th of October 2024, both in the NGEN booth (Booth E141) at 11:00am, as well as a keynote presentation on “How Gen AI is revolutionizing SecOps” in the main CEA Theater at 2:50pm.

About PRE Security
PRE Security is a pioneering cybersecurity solutions company delivering superior detections and predictive security analytics in a comprehensive SecOps solution. Built on Generative AI, PRE Security eliminates the limitations, restrictions, and unfulfilled promises of conventional SIEM and XDR solutions. Founded by cybersecurity industry veterans John “JP” Peterson and Paul Jespersen, PRE Security Inc is based in Silicon Valley. Learn more at www.presecurity.ai.
