Cybersecurity experts say ransomware attacks have increased substantially in recent years.
“Any serious organization today, as we know, presume breach,” said SimSpace CFO James Gerber. “They have to presume that the attackers are going to get in, because they will. The question is, once they’re in, how quickly can you spot, how well can you contain what they’re potentially able to do?”
Many companies are turning to artificial intelligence to help detect and defend against bad actors.
HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS RESHAPING MODERN WARFARE
“Some people are saying, to work against AI, you’re going to fight against AI, you’re going to have to use AI,” said Cyber Florida’s Cyber Range Director Bruce Caulkins.

Cyber defense training company SimSpace uses artificial intelligence in its cyber range systems. It creates synthetic data that produces an enhanced response capability for users.
“What’s really special about our platform is that we emulate any network topology that is out there. We can emulate network users. We can also emulate attackers,” said SimSpace CEO William “Hutch” Hutchinson.
Gerber says the technology allows human defenders to operate alongside trained, artificial intelligence defenders.
“We know there aren’t enough people, as much as we want to train as many as can be found,” Gerber said.
“We’ll have to have artificial intelligence, defensive tools operating alongside them.”
The government also uses artificial intelligence for certain services, including health care, transportation and environmental hazards.
“We’re trying to keep up, and those threats are increasing every year,” said Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz. “It’s up to us in the United States Congress to make sure we give our agencies the tools to defend from this.”
