5 AI and Cybersecurity Predictions for 2022

While most approaches to cybersecurity remain stuck in the past -- using rules, signatures, and other historically defined understandings of threat -- best practice these days is to keep your focus forward, preparing for the unknown and the unpredictable. In that spirit, Darktrace anticipates what 2022 will bring, both in terms of the threat landscape and for evolutions in defensive technologies. Focusing on augmenting the human with AI is just as important as the cutting-edge mathematics that drive AI. The relationship between humans and AI can be improved with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). In cybersecurity, this means delivering the insights of AI to the security team on a silver platter -- that is, in human-readable language and clear diagrams rather than abstruse code.
