AI being used by organisations to combat cyber attacks.
Companies
and public sector organisations say they have no choice but to automate
their cyber defences as hacking become increasingly sophisticated.
Security professionals can no longer
keep pace with the volume and sophistication of attacks on computer
systems. In a study of 850 security professionals across 10 countries,
more than half said their organisations are overwhelmed
with data. So they are turning to machine-learning technologies
that can identify cyber attacks by analysing
huge quantities of network data and have the potential to block attacks
automatically. By 2020, two out of three companies plan to deploy cyber
security defences incorporating machine learning and other forms of artificial
intelligence (AI), according to the Capgemini study, Reinventing cyber
security with artificial intelligence.
