Artificial Intelligence & the Security Market

Machine learning, advanced heuristics, or artificial intelligence: the language is shifting but the idea that computers are taking a greater role in automating security functions is moving straight ahead. Two new product announcements demonstrate that direction in very different ways. Aella Data and Senzing each brings a product based on AI technology to market, and in some ways the products could not be more different in purpose, intended audience, or business model. But both share a critical similarity: Each uses AI to correlate data from many different sources to present information that assists humans in doing their jobs. Aella Data came out of stealth mode just before this year's RSA Conference.
