Audit logs vs Kernel data. Each are valuable, Paul Vout describes the reason that each are needed to assure cyber security

Summary LLMs and vector databases are powerful tools in information retrieval, but they still need a search engine to perform optimally. Vectors provide predictions based on the most likely context within the vector space, but without additional context, the interpretation can be difficult. LLMs understand language patterns and allow for semantic search without exact terms. Vector databases use co...
