Leveraging AI to Enhance Cybersecurity

In today’s rapidly developing world, businesses face an ever-increasing number of online threats, including security breaches and fraudulent activities. As these risks evolve, so do the tools companies can use to proactively prepare for and prevent nefarious events. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that can combat these challenges. AI’s machine-learning ability to analyze massive amounts of data, identify patterns, and make real-time decisions has made it a crucial asset in enhancing cybersecurity and detecting identity, data and business fraud.

Involta has prioritized security and compliance for the last 15 years, and adding AI into our cybersecurity technologies is taking our clients’ online safety procedures to the next level. Read more on how AI can improve your cybersecurity posture.
