The emergence of AI cybersecurity is no longer just a nice-to-have, but a critical necessity for organizations that need to defend against increasingly sophisticated threats. AI-based security solutions are a powerful force multiplier for human information security (infosec) teams, and they can provide real-time visibility into potential attacks, accelerate threat detection and response, and make the entire process more effective and less labor-intensive.

Improved Threat Detection and Response

AI’s scalability enables it to rapidly analyze massive volumes of data and extract insights. This enables it to quickly identify subtle patterns, anomalies and indicators of cyberattacks that may be missed by traditional systems. It also improves the accuracy of risk assessments and provides a strong foundation for effective security controls that can reduce the impact of detected risks.

For example, when an attacker tries to break into your network via an endpoint device, AI-powered tools will recognize what normal behavior looks like and flag anything that deviates from that pattern. It will compare live activity with a history of previous behaviors, and the behavior it identifies as out of the ordinary can be reported to your team so you can take action and contain the attack.

This capability is especially important on the endpoint, where most attacks originate and propagate. It can also help you stay ahead of new threats by analyzing the behavior of malware samples to identify any similarities with the malicious code in your environment. It can then automatically update your threat protection and prevent a breach before it occurs.
