Not All Artificial Intelligence Is Created Equal

The 21st century marks the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for mass consumption. A staggering surge of AI has been applied to a myriad of uses — from driving cars to curing cancer.

AI has only recently entered the world of cybersecurity, but it’s occurring just in time. According to Gartner Research, the total market for all security will surpass $100B in 2019. Companies are looking to spend on innovation to secure against cyber threats.

As a result, more tech startups today tout AI to secure funding; and more established vendors now claim to embed AI in their product lines.

Yet the hype around AI — what it is and how it works — has created confusion in the marketplace.
