As efficiency falters, AI a tool in cyberwar

LogRhythm says AI lets organisations minimise false positives and be more productive. Software inefficiencies play a major role in slowing an organisation's ability to detect and respond to cyberthreats, says security intelligence company LogRhythm. One in three IT decision-makers say their teams spend at least three hours a day on tasks that could be handled by software. Most of them think that the average cybersecurity professional wastes close to 10 hours a week because of inadequate software. The study, commissioned by LogRhythm and conducted by Widmeyer, surveyed 751 IT decision-makers in the US, Britain and Asia-Pacific and found that an overwhelming majority (88%) of respondents view insider threats as a dangerous and growing concern in defending their organisations.
