Is Artificial Intelligence The Future Of Network Security?

Cyber attacks have become more sophisticated, happen faster and cause more business disruption than ever before. Preventative tools like anti-virus and IDS, have not kept pace. This is a problem, because if we are not going to make any progress at all in defending against cyber attacks we will need both automation and artificial intelligence to help win the fight. For far too long, the key strategy in defending networks has been prevention, or not allowing bad things to happen in the first place. This strategy involves defending every single ingress and egress point and protecting against all threats to these points at all times.
