Top Three Use Cases for AI in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity professionals are facing an unprecedented threat environment, with record-high numbers of attacks, shortage of qualified staff, and increasing aggression and sophistication from nation-state actors. For many data center cybersecurity managers, the silver bullet for all these problems is artificial intelligence. It promises to allow security teams to handle more threats than ever before, of greater complexity than ever before, with fewer and fewer people. In fact, according to a global survey released this past September by Pillsbury, a global law firm focusing on technology, 49% of executives think artificial intelligence is the best tool to counter nation-state cyber attacks. Pillsbury predicts that cybersecurity-related AI spending will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 24% through 2027 to reach a market value of $46 billion.
