The Great Quote: “When a business is breached. . . someone always wrote a memo saying, “Doesn’t that sound funny?” “. . . imagine if we had a tool that monitors, listens, learns, advises and maybe even shouts. An email isn’t going to say, “Hey, man, read me now.” But the right AI tool could very well be programmed to say, “I’m going to keep texting this CIO until he listens to me.” »
