Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a myth for a long time, but there are some extraordinary developments that make AI a reality. AI can be the perfect answer to this era's biggest issue “Cyber Security”. AI researchers believe that it’s only the matter of time before a security firm decides to utilize AI to tackle cyber security attacks and defense. Market analyst's believes whoever was the first to utilize AI will become the market leader.

There is no second thought towards the fact that, growth in cyber threats has shown how the industry is failing to come up with a solution to eliminate these threats. The emergence of new malwares and ransomwares has pushed organizations to spend heavily on their cyber security infrastructures.





Researchers defined that there are two ways how AI can change the cyber security landscape worldwide. The first one is AI can solve every modern cyber threat every organization is facing

How can AI solve organizations cyber security issues?

Organizations are victimized by these modern day threats because of the lack of cyber security knowledge among their employees and hierarchy. In every organization there are a limited number of people who have the knowledge of modern cyber threats. Lack of knowledge played a big part in growth of cyber threats.

All an attacker needs is one mistake from an organization’s employees; to gain unauthorized access to the network. This will lead towards the possible breach of confidential information like clients and employee data. AI will eliminate these issues once its takes place as a cyber security sentinel in organizations.

AI will eliminate the need of Security Professionals

One negative aspect of AI – It can replace the cyber security professionals in organizations. Even through security professionals are always learning through courses, books etc., but all that knowledge is constantly distorted by human limitations like memory, emotions, age, fatigue and many more.

Even with all their knowledge Security professionals sometimes fail to prevent attackers – because there are infinite numbers of attackers out there who are always trying to target your organization. As a human it isn’t possible to always prevent those modern attacks.

How AI can answer all those security threats

Once the era of AI starts every bit of knowledge we collected in our history; AI can utilize it more effectively than we ever will. This means there will not be any mistakes an attacker can take advantage, and AI will operate 24/7 to address all emerging threats. AI can utilize every bit of information provided to it, unlike the human brain.

AI technology have its disadvantages

But there are always negative aspects of any technology revolution in history. AI will also face same case, but threat actors will also have the resources and access to artificial intelligence. And if you thought cyber security solutions utilizing AI are a threat to your position as the cyber security expert of your company, think again.

Imagine every conceivable bit of code ever used or usable in a cyber attack. Now imagine a single entity, capable of combining it and correlating it into attacks more complex than everything ever created by humans - cyber-attacks created by artificial intelligence to destroy any conventional cyber defense measure known to world so far.
