How artificial intelligence can fight cyberattacks

From an organisational perspective, apart from loss of critical information, financial losses, reputational damages and disruption in operations, in most cases, it becomes impossible to identify the intensity of the cyberattack, and the amount of data that was actually compromised often remains unknown. This was witnessed even recently when hackers launched attacks on multiple Indian pharmaceutical companies where, till date, there is no visibility on the degree of attack and the nature of data that was compromised. Cybersecurity is a critical aspect for all organisations today. Unfortunately, most businesses are not adequately equipped to handle these complex cyber threats simply because they continue to rely on traditional techniques. They do not possess the high-end tools required to quickly identify and recover from threats which, if adopted, can go a long way in ensuring cybersecurity.
