HOW IS AI IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF CYBER
SECURITY?
2

Today’s era is driven by technology in every aspect of our lives, so much that
we’ve now increased our dependence on technology on a daily basis. With an
increase in the dependency, we’re now very vulnerable and exposed to the
intermittent threat posed as cyber-attacks. Cyber-attack threats have plagued
businesses, corporates, government, and institutions. According to a recent study
by leading IT analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, around 83 percent of organizations in
the Asia Pacific region do not think about cyber security while embarking on digital
transformation projects, while 69 percent of Indian companies and 63 percent of
Australian companies are most at risk of cyber-attack. The total cost of online
crimes is projected to surpass one trillion dollars in 2019.

Any discussion about technology has to involve, not just facets but all of, next-
generation technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data
among others. Artificial Intelligence’s popularity has led its implementation across
industries. In recent times, artificial intelligence has proven to be the most efficient
technology and has no limit. Our day to day conversations are all about Alexa, Siri,
Cortana, etc. and have become a major part of our lives. To keep pace with the
ever-evolving threat landscape, solutions such as those rooted in artificial
intelligence can be used. Adoption of artificial intelligence based technologies in
cyber security enables IT professionals, to accurately predict and react to
upcoming cyber threats in an efficient manner. These technologies are a valuable
ally when it comes to defending against hackers for it can be trained to learn
patterns and identify any deviation from the set norms and generate an automated
response.

Smart systems powered by data-centric algorithms working in tandem with
machine learning can enhance cybersecurity in various ways. They are more
proactive to respond to threats instantly and prevent it in real time. As a matter of
fact, Artificial Intelligence is both an attacker and a defender. It is advantageous in
multiple ways since the technology has the capability to learn, understand and
accommodate to its surroundings, especially during the time of a threat or an
attack. When Artificial Intelligence is utilized in a correct way, it will collect data
and learn from instances of security breaches, attempt, failed or blocked attacks
and help secure the data by reacting instantly and also remove thee threats.

These features will take cybersecurity to the next level. Artificial Intelligence can
go through a large amount of information and AI facilitates this by applying
advanced math and complex algorithms on huge information which is needed to
mitigate threats. Advanced mathematical calculations can be performed using
artificial intelligence in comparison to humans. Artificial Intelligence has the
potential of increasing its ability in the future. Cybersecurity intelligence can be
integrated into Artificial Intelligence technology, making it a much more powerful
tool. AI can’t only detect and fight the threats, but will also continue to search the
web for information regarding the secretive threats that exist.

There are plenty of examples where known companies are utilizing Artificial
intelligence to strengthen their cybersecurity. Gmail uses machine learning
technology to filter emails and provide a safeguard from malicious emails. Along
with this, Google also uses Deep Learning for its other platforms which help to
address threats proactively as per the data-driven insights. IBM launched its
Watson cognitive learning which extended the power of for machine learning for
threat detection and cybersecurity purposes.

Alternatively, AI could prove a threat to cybersecurity in a different way. With more
and more companies who are on the verge of adopting AI-driven and machine
learning products as a part of their defense strategy, researchers worry that this
could lull employees and IT professionals into a false sense of security. Yet
lowering our guard in the face of rising cybercrime trends could be a fatal mistake.
With a perfect amalgamation of human mental capacity and machine’s
intelligence, we can take advantage of machine knowledge to maximize human
intelligence.

Arguably, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning can redefine cybersecurity
and have the potentiality to provide a remarkably huge advantage to the overall
structure of an organization’s cybersecurity defense. But the technology is as
much as a threat as it is an advantage in the field of cybersecurity. In reality,
Artificial Intelligence is also a destructive tool when fallen in wrong hands.
