In this episode, we are speaking with Joshua Cloud, Director of Information Security at NFI Industries, as he answers three important questions for us:

1. What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?  
2. What is Machine Learning (ML)?  
3. How can we use AI and ML in cybersecurity and cyber defense?

Cloud uses unique real-world parallels to help us understand AI and ML.

Also, new research, just published by Trend Micro, our premiere podcast partner, on unveiling critical security flaws in programmable industrial machines.
