Rapid advances in AI and machine learning are defining cybersecurity's future daily.
Identities are the new security perimeter and Zero Trust Security frameworks are capitalising on AI's insights to thwart breaches in milliseconds. Advances in AI and machine learning are also driving the transformation of endpoint security toward greater accuracy and contextually intelligence.
69% of enterprise executives believe artificial intelligence (AI) will be necessary to respond to cyberattacks with the majority of telecom companies (80%) saying they are counting on AI to help identify threats and thwart attacks according to
Gartner predicts
The following 10 charts illustrate the market and technological factors driving the rapid growth of AI in security today:
AI shows the greatest potential for fraud detection, malware detection, assigning risk scores to login attempts on networks, and intrusion detection
Supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms are proving to be effective in identifying potentially fraudulent online transaction activity.
By definition, supervised machine learning algorithms rely on historical data to find patterns not discernible with traditional rule-based approaches to fraud detection. Finding anomalies, interrelationships, and valid links between emerging factors and variables is unsupervised machine learning's core strength.
Combining each is proving to be very effective in identifying anomalous behavior and reducing or restricting access. Kount's Omniscore relies on these technologies to provide an AI-driven transaction safety rating. Source:

Enterprises are relying on AI as the foundation of their security automation frameworks
AI-driven security automation frameworks are designed to flex and support new digital business models across an organisation. Existing security automation frameworks can crunch and correlate threat patterns on massive volumes of disparate data, which introduces opportunities for advanced cybersecurity without disrupting business.
Using alerts and prescriptive analytics for dynamic policies to address identified risks, enterprises can speed deployment of threat-blocking measures, increasing the agility of security operations.
