Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to augment, not replace, cybersecurity capabilities Bloomberg Government

Bloomberg Government regularly publishes insights, opinions and best practices from our community of senior leaders and decision makers. This column is written by Oliver Tavakoli, chief technology officer at Vectra Networks.

As marketers and the media blend and entwine artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity buzzwords into a confusing cocktail of badness-stopping power, government security buyers, like their enterprise counterparts, are swamped with misconceptions and a lack of differentiated product clarity. Some marketing of artificial intelligence promises more that it can deliver today.
