Segment 2 Libraesva Interview
Generative AI is having a transformative effect across almost every industry, but arguably the area it has had the most significant impact is cybercrime. Discriminative AI can now learn to recognize what constitutes normal communication patterns, so anything out of the ordinary can be flagged. AI is also enabling human security analysts to automate the triage of reported emails, to rapidly identify false positives and keep up with emerging cybercriminal tactics. Finally, specialized Small Language Models (SLMs) using neural networks are able to analyze and comprehend the semantic intent of the message.
