Ensuring security in an increasingly complex world

The world of cyber security is becoming increasingly more difficult for businesses looking to protect their assets. Attacks are becoming more sophisticated, with cyber criminals making use of ever advancing technologies. Even with modern machine driven security systems, it is becoming increasingly complex for businesses to differentiate between a genuine visitor and criminals attempting to breach or bring down their systems. With news that MIT has developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) capable of detecting 85% of cyber attacks - and still learning - does the future of cyber security lie with robots? Built by MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the machine-learning startup PatternEx, this artificial intelligence platform known as AI2 will spark an interesting debate about the role of AI in protecting an organization from cyber attacks.
