\u00a9 shutterstock\/BestForBest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne area where AI can bring considerable value is defending against insider threats. Rogue employees and adversaries who compromise their accounts are a top risk, but often, they become evident only after they have caused serious damage.<\/p>\n
An AI-powered user and entity behaviour anomaly (UEBA) detection solution can reduce risk significantly. It will establish baselines for normal user activity and spot even small deviations, such as data access patterns that differ from the user\u2019s own norm or the norm of their group.<\/p>\n
Similarly, AI can compare activity in the environment against threat intelligence feeds to spot additional threats. With the early warning that AI enables, IT teams can investigate and respond to security incidents in time to limit or even prevent costly breaches, downtime and compliance violations.<\/p>\n
AI can also deliver significant value by accelerating analysis when every second counts \u2013 during an ongoing attack. Security teams often have multiple sources of information, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, network security devices (routers and firewalls), and so on.<\/p>\n
When the attack unfolds, combining all these fast enough to prioritise remediation actions can be very challenging. AI can take that stress off human shoulders and facilitate better decision-making.<\/p>\n
Future uses of AI in cybersecurity<\/h3>\n AI is still a relatively young technology, so it is difficult to understand its implications, challenges and opportunities fully.<\/p>\n
However, organisations can and should carefully consider what AI can and can\u2019t do for them and make informed, strategic choices on how and when to apply it in their processes.<\/p>\n
For cybersecurity measures, this due diligence will help IT leaders ensure that AI is used appropriately, risks are understood and mitigated as fully as possible, and AI actually helps teams and the overall business achieve their aims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
