AI Cybersecurity & Password ProtectionĀ Ā
Things could get futuristic! Could the world of no passwords and identity scan verification beĀ among us? Maybe. The idea has been weighed and explored to switch over from password management software to AI-based systems. This AI system would monitor all roles, permissions, and actions within an organization and be responsible for flagging any unusual behavior. When a situation is flagged, an employee would have to give a secondary form of verification, such as a fingerprint scan or facial recognition.Ā Ā
The Future of Artificial IntelligenceĀ Ā
Things can still shift before we learn the official role of AI technology in the cybersecurity space. There is one thing we can count on for sure, and that is that this impressive technology is bound to influence the cybersecurity landscape over the next few years.Ā Ā
