Reinforcement learning underpins the benefit of AI to the cybersecurity ecosystem and is closest to how humans learn through experience and trial and error. AI reinforcement learning may have applicability in prediction to prevent attacks as well, learning from past experiences and low signals and using patterns to predict what might happen next time.
25% of Americans has lost money to online tax scams, according to McAfee. "As tax season ramps up, so too does cybercriminal activity. What's new this year is the scale and sophistication of scams we're now seeing thanks to artificial intelligence.
