This company uses AI to stop cyberattacks before they start

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the old saying goes, and that's just as true in cybersecurity as it is in health. So believes Cylance, a startup that uses AI to detect and prevent cyberattacks. On Wednesday, Cylance announced that it just raised a whopping US 100 million in Series D funding. It will use the new infusion to expand its sales, marketing, and engineering programs. Dubbed CylanceProtect, the company's flagship product promises AI-based endpoint security while using a fraction of the system resources required by the approaches used in most enterprises today.
