How To Approach AI-Enhanced Cybersecurity

The continual increase in security threats combined with an overwhelming amount of data and false positives is creating major headaches for IT security teams. Additionally, the cybersecurity industry faces a colossal shortage of talent, making it nearly impossible to stay on top of the latest threats. According to data from ESG research, 12 percent of enterprise organizations have already deployed AI-based security analytics extensively, while another 27 percent have deployed AI-based security analytics on a more limited basis. The relationship between AI and Machine Learning (ML) is often poorly articulated. Artificial Intelligence is simply concerned with causing machines to perform tasks characteristic of human intelligence. And ML is simply a way in which that AI can be achieved.
