FEATURE : DATA SECURITY

AI from Darktrace transforms cybersecurity in Las Vegas

Las Vegas ’ s search for an adaptive security solution led it to deploy

Darktrace AI across its enterprise , cloud and industrial networks . Powered by world-leading AI , Darktrace analyzes data flows from across the city ’ s entire digital infrastructure . bBackground

In recent years , Las Vegas has become a prototypical Smart City . As riders glide down the Strip aboard the first completely autonomous shuttle ever deployed on a public roadway , they are unlikely to notice much trash on the sidewalk – the city ’ s surveillance cameras stream to an AI service that directs clean-up crews towards concentrations of litter . And when rush hour approaches , its passengers can rest assured that an array of connected sensors are helping officials anticipate gridlock at busy intersections .
But while smart infrastructure enables Las Vegas to achieve new heights of efficiency , conventional security tools are largely ill-equipped to defend the hybrid cloud and industrial networks that power this infrastructure . These diverse environments are increasingly attracting sophisticated cybercriminals , who seek to disrupt public services or exfiltrate sensitive data . With a highly complex network to defend , the forward-thinking City of Las Vegas recognized the need for equally innovative cyberdefenses . www . intelligentcio . com INTELLIGENTCIO
