RiskSense working on AI to predict if vulnerabilities will turn into ransomware

Cybersecurity firm RiskSense, which has been at the forefront of diagnosing persistent threats for many years, on Tuesday announced a dashboard to warn companies how much they may be at risk from various kinds of ransomware. The service, available as an update to the company's subscription-based SaaS software, is a visual monitor that shows various data, such as the number of vulnerabilities found across an enterprise's systems. It can be used not only to assess the situation but to plan a sequence of steps to remediate the matter. The dashboard is based on signals coming from typical enterprise security monitors such as those sold by Rapid7. CEO and co-founder Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala told ZDNet the intention at some point is to fold into the product neural network capabilities for additional kinds of analysis such as regression analysis.
