TechRepublic reports that a midsized company gets alerts for more than 200,000 events and threats each day — far too many than even the most experienced team of human tech experts should be expected to handle.
AI, or artificial intelligence, can provide a major enhancement to a company’s cybersecurity, especially with its ability to identify malware and other alerts before they have a chance to infect a network and compromise sensitive data.
Most importantly, AI-based cybersecurity doesn’t get tired. Rather than replacing IT professionals, AI cybersecurity solutions can supplement your internal team. It is precisely the sophisticated, innovative protection a business needs to survive and thrive, especially as cybercriminals and hackers grow smarter and more audacious by the day.
Here Are 5 Benefits of Using AI Cybersecurity Solutions:
1) It’s Smart
Through deep learning as well as machine learning, AI cybersecurity solutions get to know the ins and outs of the network its protecting, including its unique behavior and patterns. Consequently, it is quick to notice whenever the network is straying from its normal behavior — perhaps as a result of a security incident — and responds. By learning everything it needs to know about a network, as well as recording the traits of previous alerts and attacks, AI-based cybersecurity gets stronger each day, making it that much harder for hackers to break through.
2) It Never Rests
Be it sickness, holidays or well-earned PTO, there are many reasons why key members of your IT team may miss a day or two of work. AI security, however, never stops protecting your network, safeguarding your data 24/7/365 from even the most innovative and creative cybercriminals. As a business owner, you, too, can enjoy some richly deserved time off with peace of mind that comes from knowing your company is safe.
3) It Can Handle Loads of Data
Companies of all sizes transfer tons of data internally and with clients each day, and it is essential this data remain clean. AI security can review tons of data in a timely manner while identifying and resolving any kinds of threats and alerts lurking throughout.
4) It’s Fast
Recognizing and resolving a threat before it happens is essential when it comes to network protection. AI-based security can quickly monitor and scan your system for threats and find them quicker than humans can. It’s far more effective to snuff out a threat before it becomes a problem than trying to repair your network and reputation in the aftermath of a breach.
5) It Features Layered Authentication
Passwords aren’t enough when it comes to adequate protection. AI cybersecurity solutions also use two-factor authentication, or 2FA. This technology requires users to show at least two forms of identification before entering a network. This can be a verification code sent to someone’s phone via text or something as high-tech as a retinal scan or face recognition. These extra layers of security make your network more difficult for even the craftiest of hackers to breach.
