Investors See Promise in Use of AI to Secure Endpoint Devices
Endpoint specialist Cybereason Inc., which incorporates AI into its platform, also raised $200 million in Series E funding in August, and has discussed plans for an initial public offering in the near future. A smaller, but still significant, deal this year includes $6.4 million in seed funding for Senseon Tech Ltd. The vast amounts of data that laptops, smartphones and other endpoint devices create, and the need for fast identification of any anomalies in network traffic, mean that machine learning and deep learning are particularly well suited for threat detection, similar to how AI has been deployed on stock markets to detect aberrant trading patterns. Studies conducted in 2019 by the Sans Institute, a computer-security training organization, found that laptops and desktop computers were by far the most commonly breached endpoints. Endpoint security is one of the largest and most mature segments of the cybersecurity market.
