"RiskSense Working on AI to Predict if Vulnerabilities Will Turn Into Ransomware"

RiskSense recently announced an update to its subscription-based SaaS software, which will help companies better predict if their security vulnerabilities will be exploited by bad actors to target them in ransomware attacks. The update provides a dashboard to companies, giving them a visual of how vulnerable they are to facing different types of ransomware. The visual monitor displays data that can allow companies to evaluate the state of their security against such attacks as well as develop a remediation plan. The company is working on implementing machine learning (ML) capabilities into the product so that companies can perform analyses such as regression analysis. Additional types of analyses can increase the accuracy of predictions about how long it will take for a given vulnerability to be weaponized in the execution of ransomware attacks and other cyberattacks. The dashboard currently focusses on the detection and classification of security flaws that leave systems susceptible to ransomware attacks. This article continues to discuss the new dashboard aimed at giving companies information about how much they are at risk of experiencing a ransomware attack, plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve such predictions and the advancement of ransomware.
