AI is the only option in the future of cyber security – Ericsson » Banking Technology

The cybersecurity wars of the future will be fought by good artificial intelligence (AI) bots and bad ones, with the rest of us just watching to see who wins, writes Telecoms.com It isn't quite as dark as the world being taking over by robots or sentient beings, but it's a very realistic possibility due to the vast complications and workloads which will soon be placed on security teams. "Ironically and unfortunately, some of the people who are becoming most advanced when it comes to AI in the security world are the ones on the offensive," says Hoffman. "These are the cyber criminals, and one of the only ways to combat these guys will be to escalate defences to be built around AI." It's a world which pits computer against computer, where Darwinism has taken a twist. But this is the end of the story, not the beginning. At the beginning, where we are right now, there is a shift in the security paradigm.
