Many enterprises are using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies as part of their overall security strategy, but results are mixed on the post-deployment usefulness of AI in cybersecurity settings. This trend is supported by a new white paper from Osterman Research titled "The State of AI in Cybersecurity: The Benefits, Limitations and Evolving Questions." According to the study, which included responses from 400 organizations with more than 1,000 employees, 73 percent of organizations have implemented security products that incorporate at least some level of AI. However, 46 percent agree that rules creation and implementation are burdensome, and 25 percent said they do not plan to implement additional AI-enabled security solutions in the future. These findings may indicate that AI is still in the early stages of practical use and its true potential is still to come. "Any ITDM should approach AI for security very cautiously," said Steve Tcherchian, chief information security officer (CISO) and director of product at XYPRO Technology.
