BforeAI, a pioneer in predictive attack intelligence and digital risk protection, was today selected among hundreds of candidates as one of the World Economic Forum’s “Technology Pioneers.” The 2019 Global Cleantech 100 is the 11th edition of this list, demonstrating how the worldwide market for the cleantech innovation has evolved over the past 11 years.
Inclusion of BforeAI reinforces the ever-growing reliance on proactive, AI-based solutions in protecting against the rising levels of cybercrime.
This year, BforeAI is the only cybersecurity company to be named, a reflection of its advanced AI technology. The company’s “PreCrime™” platform uses applied behavioral predictive technology that analyses 98% of the internet to predict potential cyber threats up to an average of 18 days before they happen, and at a minimal false positive rate of 0.05%.
This game-changing methodology is designed to proactively protect data, IT/OT networks, digital workforce and digital brand by disrupting ransomware activities and malware behaviors, becoming the first line of defense.
BforeAI’s recognition is an important sign to the landscape of AI. It signifies a move away from defensive security after the fact, and toward proactive defensive mechanisms.
The WEF selection process focuses on innovations with a proven business model and potential for increased long-term impact on business and society. BforeAI’s capability to anticipate and block cyber threats weeks before they take place is entirely consistent with this vision and epitomizes what AI can be, much beyond automation, towards genuine predictability.
The award will provide BforeAI co-founder and CEO Luigi Lenguito an opportunity to interact and participate with world leaders and policy makers at Forum events, including the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Tianjin, China.
This forum offers a unique opportunity to network and cooperate with other futurists, and influence the direction of the international agenda on new technologies.
The implications for AI are profound: What is being learned is what to hear. The impact of the BforeAI campaigns confirms that deploying the most sophisticated AI, with behavioral analytics and machine learning, can provide real-world solutions to some of the most difficult global problems in cybersecurity.
It marks a recognition of AI’s promise to help build a safer online world – one that goes beyond what was believed to be possible just a decade ago when it comes to threat intelligence and prevention. As AI advances, we are convinced that BforeAI’s groundbreaking work will pave the way for more AI-based predictive solutions to be created and embedded, contributing to a safer and more resilient digital future.
