You Can Have Security or You Can Have Speed: RSA Cryptographers' Panel SAN FRANCISCO -- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning tools are seen by some vendors as a panacea to help improve cybersecurity. While IBM is optimistic about AI, it is also warning that machine learning systems can be tricked and manipulated by attackers. IBM released new tools and research at the RSA Conference 2018 designed to help enable researchers to understand how certain types of malicious inputs can confuse AI systems and lead to in-accurate outcomes. In a video interview with eSecurityPlanet, IBM machine learning researcher Maria-Irina Nicolae and Sridhar Muppidi, VP and CTO IBM Security explained how the new IBM tools work and what risks organizations need to know. "In the toolkit what we have are attack and defense methods, as well as some metrics for measuring robustness," Nicolae told eSecurityPlanet.
