AI is reshaping cybersecurity at pace, accelerating both attack and defence.

This article explores how innovators can protect AI driven cybersecurity technologies through a balanced approach to patents and trade secrets.

Cybersecurity has always been an arms race. Even as defenders evolve better protection and test their systems for exploits, attackers are always developing new infiltration methods. As digital systems grow in scale and complexity, the volume and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to rise.

Artificial intelligence has turned the speed up a gear, with both attackers and defenders utilising AI to identify and exploit (or protect) vulnerabilities. As AI driven cybersecurity tools become increasingly valuable, companies should consider how their innovations are developed, deployed and protected.
