Artificial Intelligence Goes Hand in Hand with Cybersecurity

While cybercriminals are able to compromise a system in hours or minutes, the reaction of companies usually takes months or even years. In fact, 18% of new malware remains undetected in the first 24 hours and 2% continues 3 months after infection, according to IDG Research. In this situation, artificial intelligence is becoming the strategic ally of business security, reducing that time frame for the detection of threats and even anticipating attacks that have not occurred. Cybercriminals are aware that information is the most valuable asset that companies have in the digital economy and, therefore, take advantage of the abundant entry points that hyperconnected work environments have generated. Traditional security methods are demonstrating their inability to protect companies against threats that grow in volume and sophistication, leading to a greater "window of opportunity for malware."
