Artificial intelligence in cybersecurity

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all areas of the globe especially international travel, supply chains and business models everywhere, 2020 started as 2019 ended, with new cyberattacks, hacking incidents and data breaches coming to light almost every day. The digital age has been one of technology increase at an exponential rate. In the recorded history of man, every age has been one of slow progress, linear at best but slowly over the years, centuries even millennia. The introduction of the personal computer (PC) in the 1980s and microchip technology with Moore's famous observational law of technology doubling the number of transistors in a microchip every two years at about half the cost is mindboggling. This has held true for over 40 years.
