AI in Cybersecurity: Six Considerations for 2021 - insideBIGDATA

Heading into 2021, the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in technology and cybersecurity will only continue to evolve as more organizations adopt new and innovative techniques. According to one recent survey, two-thirds of organizations are already using the intelligent technology for cybersecurity purposes. Using these tools allows for companies to be more prepared for the innovative attacks that cybercriminals continue to develop – also using AI technologies. For example, just last year, criminals employed AI-based software to replicate a CEO's voice to command a cash transfer of €220,000 (approximately $243,000). For businesses looking to implement more AI into their security stack in 2021, it's important to follow these six steps to ensure the effective use of AI – without compromising security anywhere else down the line.
