The Cybersecurity Poverty Line: how AI is redefining the balance for everyone
In the context of the “Cybersecurity Poverty Line”, many organizations lack the resources and expertise needed to adequately defend themselves, while threats continue to evolve through AI. To address this challenge, an AI-native security platform is required — one that combines advanced automation with human expertise. In this way, even companies with limited resources can access advanced protection capabilities and reduce the cybersecurity gap.
