4 Ways Artificial Intelligence is Being Used to Help Keep Phones Secure

If you aren't aware of AI's influence over all aspects of tech at the moment, that's probably because it does a good job of stepping in seamlessly to pick up the slack and take on tasks that could theoretically be handled by humans, but rarely are. Cyber security is an example of an arena in which artificial intelligence is a powerful ally for end users, but how does this come across in a mobile context? Threat detection is one of the most significant aspects of cyber security since there are all too many examples of breaches that have gone unnoticed for months on end, leaving data and systems exposed to exploitation for protracted periods. AI-enhanced security tools are better equipped to detect threats of all types in less time because they can draw on vast pools of data from a deluge of different devices, and identify suspicious signs of an infection in a flash. This is part of a broader big data trend for cloud-based AI analysis benefitting individual end users and devices which might otherwise not have the onboard processing grunt or storage capacity to handle threat detection efficiently.
