AI & Cybersecurity

from Generative AI 101 · host Emily Laird

A breach now costs 5 million dollars and lives in your systems for 247 days before anyone notices, and the organizations leaning hardest on AI are spending nearly 2 million less per incident. Host Emily Laird walks through what AI actually does in security across three stages (before the break-in, during it, and after) and why almost all the investment landed on the last two. Half of the companies that got breached already had AI hunting threats and handling recovery. Only 18 percent had it looking for the flaw that let anyone in. 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
