Are you working on any exciting new projects now? How do you think that will help people?
At Syxsense, we are always working on exciting projects, and a large part of our R&D team is focused on how cybersecurity can be reimagined with AI. While I am not ready to share anything publicly yet, our goal has always been to help our customers manage and secure all their IT Assets.
Let’s now shift to the main focus of our interview. How does the emergence of malicious AI threats impact compliance requirements for organizations? Are there specific regulations or standards that address the unique challenges posed by AI-related security threats?
