AI is the future of cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence is touching just about every aspect of our lives making cars safer, connecting devices in our homes, changing the way brand marketers engage us with their latest campaigns, and personalizing the latest medical treatments and protocols to improve care. According to Cyberseek, a project managed by the U.S. Department of Commerce to measure cybersecurity talent demands, there are almost 350,000 open cybersecurity jobs available at the time we published this article. Cybersecurity analyst is among the most advertised position online. Every day, security analysts look at an ocean of events gathered from log files. Their job is to identify security threats and determine which events warrant further investigation. A dearth of skilled analysts, combined with an overwhelming array of data from blogs and research papers, makes it difficult to put security events in context.
