And it should be noted that, &#8220;data science has been part of cybersecurity for as long as there has been a category called cybersecurity. Machine learning and artificial intelligence do have roles to play in security, but they are not a panacea for the prevention of all cyberattacks,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cso.com.au\/article\/620413\/wary-vendors-touting-superior-data-science\/\">https:\/\/www.cso.com.au\/article\/620413\/wary-vendors-touting-superior-data-science\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\nSource: DRJ New feed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the highly competitive market for security tools, many vendors make the misleading claim of having the best of everything, and at this point in time &#8220;everything&#8221; often refers to data science, machine learning and AI.
