The CrowdStrike Blog reported that adversaries are using artificial intelligence to operate at greater scale and speed, reducing the time defenders have to react. The new initiative aims to combine cybersecurity and artificial intelligence capabilities to deliver machine-speed defenses for complex environments that blend modern IT with legacy operational technology.
