The more time we spend online, the more vulnerable we become to cybercriminals. They are using artificial intelligence to steal data, but individuals and companies can use the technology to thwart their efforts.
The new security intelligence is super, but that same super intelligence is also available to the folks who make their living using your data to benefit them. So, you just sort of hope your AI security tools are better than their AI security tapping tools because, hey, you’ve got important stuff to do. At the same time, your computing/communication devices don’t serve much of a purpose if they don’t compute/communicate. After all, your work and leisure life depend on working with people inside and outside your organization, and you’re constantly sharing data with organizations like insurance/healthcare institutions, retailers, banks, airlines/travel destinations, online/instore retailers, utilities, and, lest we forget, your phone company.
They need your data so they can do a better job of serving/supporting you. And you’re pretty sure they have pretty good AI-enabled cybersecurity systems in place—as long as you don’t think about it too much. But just in case, you load up on all of the new AI-enabled security and data protection tools… just in case. Oh yeah, we almost overlooked the most important stuff you use regularly that is absolutely vital to your life—your social media sites.
