Why Enterprises Cannot Afford to Ignore AI and Emergent Technology in Their Cybersecurity Strategy

One need not understand the finer details of the Dark Web in order to respect the risk these black markets pose in an increasingly data-centric world. In nearly every aspect of our modern lives, cybersecurity is becoming a necessary part of the conversation. Even novice "hackers" can rent cloud-based botnets and orchestrate DDoS attacks for around $25 per hour according to data released by Kaspersky Labs. Fortunately, the classic adage remains true, even on the Dark Web - you get what you pay for. Low-priced DDoS attacks are easily thwarted by modern network security systems designed to recognize incoming threats and divert resources to squash attacks. Thanks to advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in the area of cybersecurity, small businesses and enterprise-level companies can stay focused and maintain a high level of digital trust from their customers while keeping overhead costs in check.
