00:08 Companies in the Caribbean have experienced ransomware attacks

00:16 It's basically where malicious software is used to block access to a computerized system

00:21 And the perpetrators demand something in return for releasing the block usually money

00:27 Ransom X lock bait and hive are some of the perpetrators

00:30 According to chief executive officer of pinaka consulting Shiva besassa

00:35 These attacks have become highly sophisticated and comprised different levels of extortion

01:03 But we do have the CIO his company has teamed up with flex on a cyber security company from Singapore

01:10 To launch to run somewhere protection hardware solutions for laptops and enterprise servers

01:16 enabled by artificial intelligence

01:19 They are the X by endpoint security which is a solid-state drive or SSD for laptops and the X by enterprise

01:27 Service defender, which is a peripheral computer interface express card for servers

02:05 Yo says the AI cyber security mechanisms which function like software does a dynamic and integrated

02:12 Into the hardware devices currently x5 is the world first AI

02:17 embedded cyber security at a firmware level

02:20 co-function with hardware sensors for real-time protection against any

02:25 Unknown cyber threats so it could detect any anomaly change in data access patterns

02:31 for

02:33 Access patterns for any sign of compromise and it can stop unknown and known threats

02:41 Actively without having any updates

02:43 According to yo that's unlike software which she calls a reactive approach

02:49 Requiring many updates to function properly

02:52 She calls x5 the last line of defense which can protect against ransomware and cloning as well as unknown

03:00 and insider threats data in the SSD are

03:04 Encrypted if hackers attempt to turn off the security settings they would be met with the requirements for two-factor authentication

03:11 Motion lock is another feature on endpoint
