Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to address cyber security can enable organizations a fast and efficient response to a cyberattack
Organizations quite often spend millions of dollars on deploying various technologies on cybersecurity to defend against data breaches. Despite that, devastating hacking continues to occur.
Let’s not forget the breaches at Target, Sony, Home Depot, along with the recent theft of millions of dollars from a Bangladesh bank by attacking financial transaction network SWIFT and the many examples of ransomware in news headlines this year. Does it mean that the technology is not advanced enough to outwit hackers? The race between security professionals and hackers seems to be a never-ending game, and hackers are seemingly always ahead in this race.
Next Generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be a breakthrough technology to provide capability and hope to react instantly in real time in the event of an underway cyber-attack or data breach. Next Gen AI can provide huge advantages over a human’s capability when it comes to combating an attack by recognizing and detecting an in-progress attack due to a change in the network and user behavior using advance machine learning technology. Humans will take time to understand and observe changes in the behavior. By the time a person understands something, it is too late, resulting a substantial damage to the organization.
Next Gen AI could make it possible for humans and technology to work side-by-side. AI is already used at various places, for example when you’re driving a car you can voice command your music system to play a list of romantic songs or tune into your favorite FM station.
With this same analogy, Next-gen AI can be used to develop advanced solutions to defend against cyber-attacks and data breaches. Next-gen AI solutions can be developed in such a way that they understand the user and network behavior, learn business context by self-learning for a few days to months, and then connect dots instantly if a deviation occurs in the normal behavior in the real-time.
