Reinventing Cybersecurity with Artificial Intelligence

June 20, 2019

However, one crucial, though often overlooked AI application, is the focus of this report – enhancing protection against cyberattacks. When used in conjunction with traditional methods, AI is a powerful tool for protecting against cybersecurity attacks. In the Internet Age, with hackers’ ability to commit theft or cause harm remotely, shielding assets and operations from those who intend harm has become more difficult than ever.
