Four Best Practices for Maintaining Employee Satisfaction The traditional approach to thwarting cyber attacks has been to focus on the perimeter in order to repel intruders. However, the perimeter has become a sieve over time. Today’s hackers can easily break through or work around it. According to a new study, the cost of cybercrime is $856,000 per minute. AI cybersecurity solutions directly address these challenges, which is why many people now consider AI to be the future of cybersecurity.
The Future of Cybersecurity Is Beyond the Perimeter
Focusing on perimeter defense has been analogous to wearing a Hazmat suit in a hostile environment: Any minor perforation, and you were doomed to unanticipated consequences at the hands of hackers with the time and wit to play games with your critical assets.
Not only are perimeters vulnerable and the available talent pool is vast, but most IT teams are frequently overburdened and unable to keep up with the updates required to protect against the myriad attacks that can breach a company’s external defenses.
Computing speed has increased exponentially over the years, multiplying more than 3,000 times since 1991, to the point where even a $5 Raspberry Pi can now run deep learning algorithms. It’s no surprise that the focus has shifted in recent years to using AI cybersecurity to supplement traditional defenses in a variety of ways and nullify stealthy, possible attacks that may have already breached the perimeter before causing irreversible damage to the network or data.
Applying Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity
Endpoints and data are evolving into immune systems in AI cybersecurity programs that are now being embedded in company networks, allowing internal defenses to shorten dwell time and pre-empt the devastation that can follow a breach.
Cybercriminals are already using automation and machine learning 24 hours a day, seven days a week, despite the fact that artificial intelligence in cybersecurity is far from perfect. AI is expected to continue gaining ground in the never-ending cat-and-mouse game to build predictive capabilities and strengthen defenses for the foreseeable future.
