Peachtree Corners, GA, a city northeast of Atlanta known for its pioneering use of smart city technology, is adding a new tool to its lineup: Artificial intelligence-powered software that gives security cameras the ability to tell if people are violating COVID-19 regulations. The software, created by UK-based CCTV tech company Cawamo, can be used on any security camera, meaning there's no need to buy new hardware in order to use it.
SparkCognition and SkyGrid announced a new collaboration to deploy AI-powered cybersecurity directly on drones, protecting them from zero-day attacks during flight. Equipped with SparkCognition's DeepArmor cybersecurity product, SkyGrid is the first airspace management system to enable drone protection powered by AI. This approach provides more advanced airspace security than traditional anti-malware reliant on signatures of known threats.
DigiPlex has signed an agreement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to host AI and High-Performance Computing technology in its Stockholm data center. The DigiPlex Stockholm campus is located close to Arlanda, the capital airport of Sweden, the perfect geographical location for business needs.
Twenty20 Solutions announces its launch of enhanced Artificial Intelligence technology with advanced visual detection and classification capabilities designed to maximize operational efficiency for its customers. The company unveiled an expanded technology roadmap that includes new AI-enabled analytics to drive higher levels of visibility, security and automation.
Avaya announced an expansion of its artificial intelligence-powered customer experience capabilities for Avaya OneCloud CCaaS customers, through an extended relationship with Amazon Web Services. As an AWS Partner offering AWS Contact Center Intelligence solutions, Avaya can enable customers to leverage AWS AI Services and Machine Learning capabilities to drive more rewarding customer and employee experiences across both voice and digital channels through natural, conversation-driven interactions powered by AI and ML. Avaya's integration with AWS CCI strengthens its portfolio of contact center solutions delivering enhanced customer engagement through better, faster, and more relevant insights and actions, building brand preference while also improving operational efficiency.
In order to defeat these cyber bad guys, security pros and AI should focus on what they do best. AI is markedly better at security-threat detection if clear guidelines can be turned into training data for AI. "For instance, if there are guidelines on certain kinds of IP addresses or websites that are known for being the source of malicious malware activity, the AI can be trained to look for them, take action, learn from this, and become smarter at detecting such activity in the future," writes Sivaraman.
Arista Networks announced an Attack Surface Assessment, an advanced security service delivered through the recent acquisition of Awake Security. "To make matters worse, sponsored groups can steal intellectual property and attack resources that are now in the wild. Big companies and banks are still getting hacked and technologies like IoT are huge threats. We need to reboot security and make it simple to manage. I believe Arista Networks is simplifying security."
That machine-to-machine communication, right? As you speed that up, and you speed up that attacker machine-to-machine communication, you really can start to up-level the ability to conduct these denial of service attacks. While they may be not have been necessarily as in fashion, we're seeing that the ransomware trends, and some of those more, you will probably see a resurgence or DDoS attacks is there, but you crank into, and leverage the increased speed, and the increased dependency on IoT devices in a way that we maybe haven't seen them as monetized in the past, connectivity, ransom against connectivity, rather than ransomware files.
TechRepublic's Karen Roby spoke with Dr. Danda Rawat, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Howard University, about artificial intelligence, machine learning and how they can help cybersecurity. Danda Rawat: My research projects are focusing on cybersecurity for artificial intelligence systems and the machine learning algorithms.
Howard professor says security must reach all types of networks, including IoT and ad hoc networks.
