Fighting AI with AI: Effective Security Tools for Thwarting New Types of Attacks

Commercial organizations are applying AI at a furious rate in an effort to increase productivity, competitiveness and profitability. But those apps may introduce new security issues, even while companies face growing pressure to protect sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and defend against increasingly evasive threats like ransomware and fileless malware. But while AI is part of the problem, it’s also a big part of the solution. Foundry’s 2024 Securities Priorities report found 98% of respondents are receiving benefits from AI-enabled security technology, so much so that nearly half plan to increase their spending on AI security tools.

In this on-demand session, with an eye toward mid-sized companies in particular, experts from Palo Alto Networks and Intel expounded on:

• The new security threats AI apps present to all companies, including mid-sized firms.
• How hardware- and software-based solutions work in unison to help address those threats.
• Keys to choosing and deploying effective, high-performance, AI-enabled security solutions at scale.
