Episode 3 speaker Bodo Meseke authored a piece in May 2020 entitled “How to go beyond a preventive mindset to manage cybersecurity risk”.  The piece states, among other things:

“AI tools can be programmed to block threats automatically or outmaneuver them by sending false signals as they gather information.  When a new type of malware appears, AI tools compare it to previous forms in their databases and decide if it should be automatically blocked.  Machine learning can evolve to recognize ransomware before it encrypts data and can determine whether a website navigates to a malicious domain.”

It also suggests that the “most effective type of threat detection incorporates both AI and humans.”
