Machine Learning and the Myth of the Silver Bullet

In this article, Jim Barkdoll, CEO, TITUS, reveals the three-pronged approach organizations need to take to infuse their data protection strategy with machine learning technology. Organizations have embraced the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to evaluate and understand the massive amounts of data generated and consumed daily. What this technology can do from a data management and analysis perspective is truly outstanding. We're starting to see people leverage artificial intelligence -- and in particular, machine learning -- to bolster their security efforts. The challenge is that people are applying outdated thinking to their security application, which will hinder its success. In short, just as organizations have done with cloud computing, encryption, and access management, many incorrectly view machine learning as a silver bullet solution for their data security woes.
