How AI helps businesses enhance information security

Hong Kong has seen multiple data breaches and hacking incidents during the year, prompting worries that cybercrimes are posing a growing threat to businesses and organizations. The Hong Kong Economic Journal recently sat down with information security expert William Tam, Director of Sales Engineering, APAC, at US-based data protection services firm Forcepoint, to discuss the cyber-security threats and how latest technologies like artificial intelligence can help companies protect their data. HKEJ: We understand that Forcepoint recently published the "Forcepoint Cybersecurity Forecast Report for 2019," and in the report, you highlighted the latest market trend in artificial intelligence (AI). Can you elaborate on that? Tam: In the report, we mentioned that companies are now analyzing and looking at AI technology calmly, seeking to utilize the technology.
