When artificial intelligence is the right tool to improve security, the most important step is not choosing the right algorithm for the job. Security teams and data scientists should start with strong data sets and a clear understanding of the business goal. Zulfikar Ramzan, chief technology officer of RSA, moderated a panel on cryptography at RSA 2020 and shared this advice. Ramzan leads technology strategy for the organization and holds more than 50 patents. He said that AI and machine learning have been part of the security world for more than a decade.

One of the hottest trends in cybersecurity right now is the use of artificial intelligence to enhance organizations' defenses. But what does it mean to adopt AI for cybersecurity? How should it actually be used? And how can organizations that are just starting out on this journey make effective investments in AI to solve actual business problems? We spoke to experts at RSA 2020 to get all of the answers to these questions and more. View more of our coverage from the RSA 2020 Conference and gain insight into how the conversation on cybersecurity is evolving.
