How business leaders can use AI to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap

Cyberattacks on the likes of several tech giants have brought to the fore the challenge of bridging the skills gap in the cybersecurity space in India. And, artificial intelligence being the latest buzzword of the tech industry, is being touted as one of the key solutions to the cybersecurity skills gap. According to a report, it is estimated that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs globally by the year 2021. And therefore, companies are struggling to find adequate qualified people to assist in creating an intelligent cybersecurity framework. The challenge has become apparent in the last five to ten years with a sharp increase in cyberattacks, all the way from ransomware to zero-day malware to now sneaky crypto-mining attacks.
