Bring the noise: How AI can improve cyber security Information Age

#artificialintelligence

Beleaguered enterprises are struggling to keep pace with cyber threats, and small and medium-sized businesses are hit hardest of all due to limited resources. A recent survey by the Federation of Small Business (FSB) found 66% of those questioned had been a victim of cybercrime over the past two years, and only 4% had an incident response plan in place in anticipation of an attack. For many, cyber security takes them into unfamiliar territory and depletes the time spent on core business activities. This has seen an over-reliance upon point solutions, poor attention to patching and updates, and a failure to apply strategic business-specific security controls. To make matters worse, the potential attack surface is only set to widen as the Internet of Things sees sensors and IP-enabled tech insinuate themselves into every niche of society, even the small business.
