With the speed of modern solid state drives, ransomware can encrypt a lot of data in under a minute.
I don't really see the usefulness of this. If you get ransomware, you will still need to wipe the drive and restore from backups anyways. The AI will likely have false positives that will cause issues as well.
How is being able to detect malware faster useless?
Because it’s the internet. Every news story must be treated with cynicism and derision.
Because it’s IBM. They’ll roll this into “Watson” and send a team of consultants to implement it on a 2 year contract, and then one of the contractors will be socially engineered into giving away your data.
Ai is actually the perfect solution. By restructuring the weakest point of any network (layer 8) to be entirely comprised of ai, a company can reduce costs and increase security.
