Nvidia today announced that a digital lab playground for its latest security offering is now available, letting users try out an AI-powered system designed to monitor individual user accounts for potentially hazardous behavior.

The idea, according to the company, is to leverage the large amounts of data that many organizations compile anyway about login and data access events on their systems, and use that to train an AI that watches for user accounts to diverge from their usual patterns.

In a nutshell, the court’s insider risk management program, designed to protect the information the justices handle on a daily basis, failed—and failed miserably. Frankly, based on the findings of the report, the court’s insider risk management program—if it existed—was anemic at best.

The investigation, detailed in a 23-page report released on January 19, indicates that the court’s methodology was judged to be thorough by Michael Chertoff of the Chertoff Group, who was asked to review the marshal of the court’s investigative results.
