3. Improving the Defensive Cybersecurity
Technology is being utilized in almost every aspect of today's life;
therefore, it is our obligation to safeguard our infrastructure. A
single destruction of the Global Positioning System (GPS) would
cause power systems, banking industries, airports, trucks, and
shipping activities to shut down. Even though humans can guard
important technology systems, they cannot be well equipped to
detect possible threats since hackers gradually implement
advanced cyber-attack tactics.
Conversely, it is fortunate that machine learning solution features gradually equip AI with up-to-date
knowledge as it obtains greater experience and gains further data. Darktrace develops self-taught
security systems that adopt AI to locate and halt cyber attacks; most attacks are rarely known or newly
developed.
This illustrates the dynamic nature of technology, hence the need to gain more knowledge on cyberattacks,
their mode of progression, and their relation to and impact on the digital world. The continuous
outburst of cyber threats potentially causes intense distress.
Moreover, it instructs AI on what to be cautious of, defensive methods against cyber attacks, and how to
identify areas vulnerable to new attacks. This improves AI's defensive and rational ability. Despite cyber
attacks' negative and detrimental impacts, they present various advantages to AI and machine learning
technology.
4. AI Responds with Speed
AI is advantageous because it provides solutions that analyze and rapidly transmit attack reports faster
than human response actions. Machine learning operations use complex factual information, pattern
identification, and forecast analytics to respond with unique, highly accurate, and rapid action.
AI is more prompt and dependable whenever appropriate data is at its disposal. This makes it a perfect
technology for detecting potential threats, developing ways to deal with them, and responding quickly
and adequately to the attack.
AI gives the cybersecurity team greater control over their expertise and a competitive advantage in the
workplace.
