Every Device Is a Door. How Many Have You Left Open?

We are living in a digital era. Whether it be booking a hotel room, ordering some dinner, or even booking a cab-- we're constantly using the internet and inherently constantly generating data. This data is generally stored on the Cloud which is basically a huge data server or data center that you can access online. Also, we use an array of devices to access this data.
Now, for a hacker it's a golden age with so many access points, public IP addresses, constant traffic and tons of data to exploit. Black Hat Hackers are having one hell of a time exploiting vulnerabilities and creating malicious software for the same.
On top of that, cyber attacks are evolving by the date. Hackers are becoming smarter and more creative with their malware and how they bypass virus scans and firewalls still baffle many people.

Do you think AI will make cybersecurity stronger— or make cybercriminals even more dangerous?

Is AI here to replace humans?

Personally, I think AI is not here to replace humans but to simply assist them. When people hear the term 'Artificial Intelligence' they often think of robots like M3GAN and futuristic scenarios. However, AI is simply designed to stimulate human intelligence, making tasks more efficient and manageable.

What exactly is CYBERSECURITY?

Cybersecurity is the process of protecting networks, systems, applications and digital assets from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, malware and data breaches. It ensures the confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) of information while supporting secure and sustainable digital infrastructure.
