Google Launches Free AI-Tools for Increased Cybersecurity
In a bid to heighten the level of cybersecurity on the internet, Google has launched a series of free tools, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). This move comes in response to the growing use of advanced technologies, including neural networks, not only for protection against cybercriminals but also for perpetrating illicit activities.
Neural-Network Based Open-Source Tool in Pipeline
Among other things, Google plans to unveil a new open-source product, built on neural networks, which utilizes file type identification to detect malicious software. This tool, already contributing to the security levels of Gmail and Google Drive; will be available free of charge.
Google to Share AI Strategy at Munich Cybersecurity Conference
At the Munich Cybersecurity Conference taking place this week in Germany, Google will release an official document detailing how the IT giant uses AI for cybersecurity. The document also advocates for ongoing AI research and the development of autonomous cybersecurity measures.
Additional Investments in Research Grants and Collaborative Activities Announced
In addition to this, Google has declared further investments in research grants and collaboration endeavors to advance cybersecurity initiatives through AI technologies. As hackers are already using AI-based algorithms for conducting cyberattacks, Google believes it is vital to strengthen efforts to develop tools for countering these malicious acts.
