Artificial Intelligence - The Future of Cybersecurity

The sheer number of cyber-attacks and threats present in today's world is considerable. As the number of threats we face grows at an exponential rate it has become harder for cyber experts to keep up. According to the Verizon Data Report, more than seventy percent of attacks exploit known vulnerabilities with available patches. Once the vulnerabilities become known to the hackers they take advantage of them within minutes. With the number of threats growing, costing an average of $445 billion worldwide and the industry facing a shortage of 1.5 million experts, it is taking longer to detect an mitigate attacks.
