In supply chain cyberattacks, AI is being used to fight AI
Supply chain companies are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks as they integrate AI and autonomous systems into their operations. While these technologies improve efficiency, they also create new entry points for hackers, leading to a trend of using AI-enhanced cybersecurity to defend against such threats.
