Cylance is a cybersecurity company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict, identify, and prevent cyberattacks. The company was founded in 2012 by Stuart McClure, a cybersecurity expert who previously worked at McAfee and Intel. Cylance’s approach to cybersecurity is based on the idea that traditional antivirus software is no longer effective in preventing modern cyber threats. Instead, the company uses AI to analyze and detect threats in real-time, before they can cause damage.
Cylance’s AI technology is based on machine learning algorithms that are trained to recognize patterns in data. The algorithms are fed large amounts of data about known threats, as well as benign data, and are then able to identify new threats based on their similarity to known threats.
