Cybersecurity's Next Step: Artificial Intelligence Is Helping Predict, Prevent, And Defeat Attacks

Cybersecurity companies are increasingly looking to artificial intelligence tech to improve defense systems and create the next generation of cyber protection. These trends are driving demand for automated cybersecurity, i.e. AI-driven software that can use machine learning and other technologies to differentiate benign or harmful activity on a system or network. We used CB Insights data to understand when artificial intelligence began to be linked to cybersecurity, and we identify 13 companies to watch at the intersection of AI and security. To inform our analysis in the charts below, we used the Trends tool on the CB Insights Platform, which analyzes millions of media articles to track technology trends.
