AI Is Critical To The Future Of Cybersecurity, But Not A Silver Bullet

The future of cybersecurity is a preventative approach -- identifying and thwarting threats before they are perpetrated. And to achieve preventative cyber protection, AI will be critical. "Imagine you wake up to find a burglar in your daughter's room. Would you rather know immediately that the burglar is there and then go stop him, or would you rather know that he is going to break in before he does it, and prevent the attack from happening in the first place?" That was the question asked by Stuart McClure, CEO of cybersecurity company Cylance, speaking at CB Insights' Innovation Summit.
