How Can Artificial Intelligence Help in Cybersecurity?
Artificial intelligence has quickly turned out to be an essential tool in the security industry.
FREMONT, CA: Most of the cybercriminals make use of traditional, tried-and-tested attack techniques such as phishing, ransomware, or malware. Nonetheless, cybercriminals have always seen developing newer methods by building added twists on their customary versions in order to avoid exposure. Such an advance level of cybercrimes can be lucid nightmares for the IT teams, who are usually already stretched thin. Many IT teams keep themselves busy all day, all night, to innovate new ways in which they can fight the latest threats with the help of threat intelligence data.
Although the companies are ready with the patches and other updates to prevent themselves, there can still be chances that the attack might react to the threat landscape. In such cases, artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as an active part in providing the IT and security professionals with a much-needed benefit against cybercriminals. In the present day, AI has both its practical benefits, along with a few potential drawbacks.
AI is often referred to as the machines imitating intelligent human thought processes. AI helps in making decisions based on multiple variables in the surrounding, as well as their previous gather insights. AI attains every data from machine learning in order to make useful decisions. The method of learning makes AI stand out from the more basic processor code that follows a particular approach and logic and ends up with an expected outcome. Machine learning helps the machine to develop and act on its own without the necessity to follow the predetermined logic regulations.
