Red-teaming for the future: How to leverage AI to help your team defend against a cyber attack?
Cyber attacks are on the rise worldwide. The World Economic Forum estimates that the global cost of cybercrime will reach nearly $24 trillion by 2027. Just this year, governments faced complicated and intelligent attacks on central infrastructure and local authorities which threatened the delivery of public services.
