Using AI/Machine Learning in Cybersecurity

The phishing threat has advanced. Stopping these threats requires a solution that’s built from the ground up using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The architecture of yesterday’s rules and signature-based solutions simply are not equipped to handle these threats. In fact, of today’s advanced phishing threats, 51% require AI/ML to identify and stop. AI is clearly essential for cybersecurity. But the type of AI matters.

Workforce mobility, rapidly changing business models and business partnerships contribute to a trend where businesses must be able to seamlessly enable access for everyone, to every digital service. These services might be public cloud, they might be web applications with or without support for federation standards, they might be solely backend services accessed via APIs, or even legacy applications exposed only via some sort of middleware. However, agility in the digital journey mandates that IT can provide seamless access to all these services while keeping in control and enforcing security. Identity as a Service offering, whether deployed from a public or hybrid cloud, can take a central role, by acting as the common fabric connecting all the users and all the services. Such services include support for adaptive authentication, auditing features, broad federation services, authorization capabilities, and various capabilities.

Malicious attacks on mobile applications are on the rise, presenting significant security and privacy risk to consumer data. Each data storage touchpoint is an additional attack surface. With CCPA data privacy regulations kicking in this year, companies need to be more aware of what data they keep and where it’s stored. Maintaining a zero-trust mentality and incorporating security by design is essential for keeping your mobile environment secure.
