Application of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security

Evolving technologies and the growing numbers of "always on", "always connected" devices, tools and commodities are giving the instigators of cyber-threats increased opportunities for access and interference.

Security personnel are finding themselves overwhelmed by the multiplicity of attack vectors and tools available to the cyber-criminals, and are increasingly looking to a new ally, in the quest for cyber security: AI.
