Non-malware attacks, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) have emerged as the topics du jour in cybersecurity.
AI and ML’s roles in preventing cyberattacks have been met with both hope and skepticism.

For businesses, cutting through the noise is no easy task.
For an accurate assessment of the cybersecurity landscape in 2017, Carbon Black turned to the experts. For this research, Carbon Black interviewed 410 leading security researchers in an effort to gauge how non-malware attacks, AI and ML are currently perceived.
The interviews point to some interesting trends. Among them:
