Is Artificial Intelligence Protecting Your Business?

If you’re like most of the world, when you hear the term “Artificial Intelligence” or AI, visions of Steven Spielberg movies come to mind. And although the film industry has made an exuberant amount of money based on this notion of AI, the real definition of AI is a lot broader than just robots or creatures with human-like intelligence.

AI is the actual science based around making machines learn and carry out tasks that mimic human intelligence. One way that we currently see AI is through the process by which computers create machine learning algorithms to make decisions based off of patterns they find within big data. Specifically, in the world of cybersecurity, AI is playing a big role in the future of advanced threat detection and prevention.

AI Does What Humans Can Not

Humans are good at many things. Through history, we’ve made incredible discoveries, built remarkable structures and developed world-changing technologies, but we’re limited because we are human. We fatigue after extended periods of time, we require rest and we also take a decent amount of time to learn and discover new things which does come with the occasional error. And unfortunately, malware, ransomware and data breaches continue to grow in quantity and complexity, making cybersecurity professionals’ jobs more difficult. That’s where artificial intelligence steps in.

AI and machine learning can continuously work around the clock, which allows machines to learn at accelerated speeds without the need to stop and take a break. One of the biggest strengths of AI is its ability to compute and sift through large volumes of data very quickly. This ability to handle big data is helping cybersecurity professionals combat and stop malicious threats with quickness and precision that otherwise might go undetected by traditional measures. Humans simply cannot adapt quick enough to handle the increasing flow of information that are posing risks to enterprises in today’s cybersecurity climate.

How AI Helps Security Pros

There are many use cases for AI in the world of cybersecurity. Here are a few use cases in how it’s being used to intelligently protect information and data:

· spot never before seen malware

· recognize suspicious user behaviors

· detect anomaly patterns in network traffic

· analyze trends to predict future failures

· spot key malicious indicators in files and programs

· suggest actions such as re-imaging servers or isolating network segments

· carry out remediation actions automatically.

· collect and analyze larges sets of threat data

· scan code and systems for vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses

According to a recent survey of 400 security professionals by Wakefield Research and Webroot, 99 percent of US respondents believe AI overall could improve their organizations’ cybersecurity. Eighty-seven percent of respondents reported that their organizations are already using AI as part of their cybersecurity strategy. Seventy-four percent said they believe that within the next three years their companies will not be able to safeguard digital assets without AI.

AI is making security tools more powerful and easier to use. Without AI, it’s not possible for enterprises and users to be adequately prepared for evolving attacks and quickly adapting to changing conditions. Top cybersecurity vendors have already started to add AI to their products, with many other forward-thinking companies planning on heavily investing in AI over the next few years. Those that refuse to adopt some form of machine learning into their offerings will be behind the curve of their peers.
