Do you believe it when cyber security solutions claim they’re using AI?

There are a number of cyber security vendors that claim they have AI embedded in their tools—CrowdStrike comes to mind, among others. They have some automation but it’s not nearly what we would define as AI.

I would say it's actually machine learning. Claiming that there’s AI is a marketing thing. Even Microsoft claims that they do AI with their endpoint antivirus and Office 365 in the cloud, but I haven't seen any proof that they're doing true AI.

Especially in the EDR anti-malware space, every solution right now says it's signatureless detection and behavioral-based recognition, but I think that's just a different kind of signature. You’re just responding to a different pattern. I haven't seen anything that can actually show that there's a SolarWinds breach which it has already shut down, like, “We found this CVE that just came out today in your environment and we've already shut it down.” Show me that product.

That's powerful. Zero day plugs immediately.

They use process automation, but these machine learning processes often times capture the wrong inputs, leading to corrections and added man hours to certain steps. Can be used for certain processes though.

There are cyber security companies that say they have AI. I don't believe that it is what I think is true AI. I suspect it is more advanced rule sets.
