What's the Real Role of AI and ML in Cybersecurity?

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are being heralded as a way to solve a wide range of problems in different industries and applications, such as reducing street traffic, improving online shopping, making life easier with voice-activated digital assistants, and more. The cybersecurity industry is no different. However, we need to be careful of the "hype" around AI and ML. And there is a lot of hype out there! A simple Google search of the term "artificial intelligence" yields about 630 million results, and AI continues to dominate the headlines and has even made its way into mainstream TV advertising.
