Chapter 6. Conclusion
The capabilities of cyber attackers are growing faster than the capabilities of organizations to defend against them. Because the cyber threat landscape is both complex and highly dynamic, machine intelligence solutions offer unique strengths and benefits to organizations tasked with protecting critical data and information systems.
From an operational perspective, machine intelligence provides greater efficiency and a wider range of options for dealing with persistent threats, persistent malware, and pervasive software exploits.
The emergence of massively parallelized processing on commodity hardware, together with the availability of big data and the rise of data science, has rapidly transformed machine intelligence from a dream into hard reality. Operationally, machine intelligence is fast becoming an essential part of the basic information technology portfolio.
Machine intelligence is no longer a theory confined to university laboratories. Its essential capabilities have been abstracted into usable tools and solutions. In other words, machine intelligence is now ready for duty.
Now is the time for organizations to begin the process of acquiring the knowledge, experience and expertise that will be absolutely necessary to develop, implement and manage machine intelligence capabilities to create substantive advantages in your efforts to counter cyber attackers and protect critical systems and data.
