This relentless assault from cybercriminals and nation-state actors on classified data and DoD systems is not just a security concern but a direct threat to the critical infrastructure and the safety of U.S. citizens.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool for combating these ongoing threats, enabling insights to enhance threat detection and response capabilities. However, DoD must build future-ready AI programs based on quality datasets that account for all data types, including mobile data.
In today's digital era, many government employees use mobile devices during work,...
