Video Highlights

  • Cybercriminals are already using AI to find vulnerabilities, and over the coming years, they'll continue getting better at it.
  • AI can also be used to protect against attacks. Some companies are already using it to detect malicious conditions and then take an autonomous action.
  • AI can be useful in detecting the tools adversaries are using as part of a ransomware attack.
