With the speed of modern solid state drives, ransomware can encrypt a lot of data in under a minute.

I don't really see the usefulness of this. If you get ransomware, you will still need to wipe the drive and restore from backups anyways. The AI will likely have false positives that will cause issues as well.

How is being able to detect malware faster useless?

Because it’s IBM. They’ll roll this into “Watson” and send a team of consultants to implement it on a 2 year contract, and then one of the contractors will be socially engineered into giving away your data.

Ai is actually the perfect solution. By restructuring the weakest point of any network (layer 8) to be entirely comprised of ai, a company can reduce costs and increase security.

Because it’s the internet. Every news story must be treated with cynicism and derision.

I guess it means one can drive shorter backup schedules. You don't want a backup that's already infected.

Why is that person staring at a warning sign in a retro video desk?

You will be surprised how many security camera and door access systems require an ancient OS to work.

Many firms refuse to spend money on replacing such systems.

Yeah but as an electronic security technician myself, I know of no system that displays big red exclamation marks on a screen for anything. This is like what a "hollywood" security console would look like, not a real one.

The monitors on top have something real though. The Exacqvision NVR GUI. I recognize it from ten miles away. But all the bottom row monitors are strange...like, what's up with the burning house?

This looks like an AI generated image.

I know that software, it’s excaqvision, it runs perfectly fine on modern OS’s

"Can" as in "It can happen... sometimes."
