Q&A: Thwarting data leaks with artificial intelligence (Includes interview)

Data breaches are often caused by malicious hackers breaking into corporate networks with the initial purpose of stealing data or a ransomware attack that could interrupt business operations. However, that has not been the trend this year. In January alone, the Oklahoma Securities Commission was hit badly, and an online casino group lost 108 million records. These, plus other incidents, were all the result of human error. This is just a handful of organizations that have suffered data leaks in January 2019 due to the lack of a password on their servers.
