In the Know: Present and Future of Artificial Intelligence in Security

But these technologies still have a way to go and some would argue that these advancements aren't true artificial intelligence because they lack the ability to learn. A pure artificial intelligence can improve on past iterations, becoming more intelligent and aware, creating pathways to enhance its capabilities and knowledge. In the movies, that's when the machines really take over. Artificial intelligence within the endpoint and network security context is still limited because it depends on benign and malicious content to "train" on. With new attack vectors, if the security solution didn't have a chance to learn it then it is still vulnerable and on a par with legacy AV and network IPS where new threats remain undetected.
