As Artificial Intelligence Accelerates, Cybercrime Innovates

Cybercrime is poised to become even more prevalent in the future. Although the goals of cybercriminals aren’t always clear, the damage they’re able to inflict on our trust in people, systems and cyberspace itself is enormous. That’s why I am joining Red Sift as I believe the company is in an ideal position to solve this growing problem. Its modern integrated platform suite, driven by Machine Learning, continuously monitors the internet to protect a company’s perimeter and stop digital impersonations of its employees, company and brand at both the business and supply chain level. I’m honored to play a key role in this high-growth company.
