How artificial intelligence is powering cybersecurity

Technology progresses daily and with this progression come threats and risks to social, financial and economic life. Today, cyber-attackers have resorted to the use of automation to launch more frequent attacks on different businesses and corporations. While cyber-attackers are expending a lot of resources to launch more sophisticated attacks, many organizations still rely on manual efforts to gather internal security findings and contextualize them with external threat information. It was reported that carelessness of employee was the reason behind the ransomware attack in 51 percent of the cases. However, such outdated methods and strategies need to part way for AI because they use up a lot of time, in which cyber-attackers can successfully take advantage of vulnerabilities to breach systems and steal data.
