Artificial Intelligence and Changing Face of Cybersecurity

The cyber security attacks are evolved from wild predator-prey chase to well-designed targeted attacks which are creating significant financial and reputational damages to businesses and government. Identification of these attacks is becoming very difficult for the cyber security defense teams as the signs of these attacks are very subtle. Hackers are using disruptive technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to plan and launch these attacks. The usage of these disruptive technologies in various areas of business are multiplying security vulnerabilities and escalating attack surface. At the same time, AI and machine learning can be used to automate security monitoring and predictive analysis.
