Artificial intellgince's role in cybersecurity for SMBs and healthcare

With the adoption of new technology for conducting work in the digital world, it is only normal for new technology to start coming out as possible solutions to cyber threats. One such area that has been in the spotlight lately is artificial intelligence (AI) and how it can help businesses to improve cybersecurity and protect against recent growing threats that come from ransomware and phishing. One recent organization that has talked about such benefits, particularly for the healthcare industry in combatting ransomware, is the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) in their paper, "How to Crush the Health Sector's Ransomware Pandemic: The Machine Learning Based Artificial Intelligence Revolution Starts Now!" ICIT talks about how machine learning based AI throughout the Internet of Things (IoT) microcosm could help to detect, respond to, and predict cyber threats. ICIT finds that if the healthcare industry adopts sophisticated algorithmic defenses such as machine learning (ML) or AI solutions it will give them an edge against the average attacker and finally put them a step ahead of their risks. Since healthcare organizations are already using cognitive and AI solutions for big data analytics and clinical apps, all they need to do now is to adopt similar solutions but with cybersecurity in mind.
