Automation And AI: The New Frontier In Cybersecurity

Digital technology is changing the way we work. Employees are accessing their productivity applications from outside the physical workplace on an increasing number of mobile devices. Thus, the number of assets that internal IT organizations are expected to manage is rising, as are the amounts of data that need to be examined. Sensors for HVAC systems and intelligent CCTVs for physical building security are examples of IoT devices that are new sources of additional network traffic. The burden falls to IT organizations who are being asked to accommodate these advances in technology, but are confronted with a heightened risk to security in their businesses. The scale and complexity of a company's digital assets needing protection from malicious attacks and data breach has grown significantly.
