But most organizations remain unaware of the ramifications of this change, and unprepared to protect their businesses.
To help, Symantec's Jamie Manuel outlines a three point cybersecurity protection program, and Darktrace Canada country manager David Masson discusses new machine learning software that creates highly accurate 3D mathematical models of everything on the network from subnets and mobile devices to PCs and departmental servers for automated threat monitoring.

Atomwise delivers AI to speed drug discovery
March 27, 2017 by Denise Deveau
Artificial intelligence has emerged as the new panacea for virtually all data and programming challenges. And despite AI potential to displace human labour - or perhaps because of this potential - it is now gathering momentum as the holy grain in terms of its ability to manage the massive information over load that we have created with the increasing digitization of business processes.
