Fighting cybercrime using IoT and AI-based automation

Last November, detectives investigating a murder case in Bentonville, Arkansas, accessed utility data from a smart meter to determine that 140 gallons of water had been used at the victim's home between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. It was more water than had been used at the home before, and it was used at a suspicious time--evidence that the patio area had been sprayed down to conceal the murder scene. As technology advances, we have more detailed data and analytics at our fingertips than ever before. It can potentially offer new insights for crime investigators. One area crying out for more insight is cybersecurity.
