The Two-Edged Sword of AI in Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity for the better—empowering teams to detect threats faster, reduce false positives, and identify risky behavior before it becomes a breach.
But there are risks associated with AI: first, that AI tools currently are new to organizations and under-regulated for their own cybersecurity, so require careful review; also, as defenders become more sophisticated with those AI tools, so do adversaries. From cybercriminals to nation-state actors, threat actors are also leveraging AI to evolve their tactics.
Learning Objectives:
- Outline the functions that AI tools can execute and/or facilitate to improve cybersecurity
- Evaluate what risks AI tools may pose to the functions where they are employed
- Delineate the steps to be taken to ameliorate risks while using AI tools to their full potential
