Winning the cybercrime arms race with AI SC Media

The arms race between cybercriminals and cybersecurity professionals continues to escalate. And anyone watching the trajectory of this perpetual game of one-upmanship can see that this is a race towards implementing AI in the service of each side's goals. For instance, a report by Nokia revealed that AI-powered botnets look for vulnerabilities in Android devices, then load data-stealing malware that is only detected after the damage has been done. Networks now incorporate multi-cloud environments that are dynamic and often temporary, SD-WAN connections to branch offices to support critical business applications, and an increasingly mobile workforce. At the same time, devices are proliferating inside networks at an unprecedented pace, from a multitude of different end-user devices to IoT technology.
