How Machine Learning Will Impact Online Security This Year

A visitor at Intel's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Day walks past a signboard during the event in the Indian city of Bangalore on April 4, 2017. Every month, the media reported another major breach, many of which had an impact at the corporate and even state level. We're all familiar with Yahoo!'s security issues, which were partially caused by long-standing compromises of their networks that no one within the company had any knowledge of. At our company, we see the aftermath of this type of vulnerability all the time. Our clients are directly affected -- many of the publishers and e-commerce merchants who use our infrastructure use Cloudflare. Many of them host WordPress sites and have had to deal with a slew of vulnerabilities in WordPress's API and its plugins.
