AI technologies may not be directly applicable to securing IT systems, according to Wang. “AI methodologies like NLP and image processing may not work directly with cybersecurity, which has special challenges and requirements – accuracy being the biggest one,” she said.
Wang said that Palo Alto Networks’ 85,000 customers produce 7.5 petabytes of data daily. “Even 0.001 inaccuracy can cause disaster. That’s why we are promoting precision AI, especially for cybersecurity. We need extreme accuracy to make cybersecurity work,” Wang said.
