A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1291380\/ai-in-cyber-security-market-size\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Statista report<\/a> expects the \u201cAI in Cyber Security\u201d market to grow from $10.5 billion in 2020 to $46.3 billion by 2026, in the process taking an ever-bigger slice of a cybersecurity products market that&#8217;s approaching $200 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of what companies think AI and machine learning can do to give cybersecurity firms an edge over their cybercriminal competition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Evaluating Threats More Quickly: <\/b>As digital transformation takes over the business world, security teams are tasked with processing and protecting unprecedented amounts of data, and the volume of alerts is overwhelming. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to sift through this data and identify potential threats more efficiently while avoiding alert fatigue. This is how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/qradar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBM\u2019s QRadar SIEM<\/a> solution leverages machine learning in its threat detection duties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Automating Defense Measures: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/soar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR)<\/a> tools have gained popularity among cybersecurity strategies since they were first introduced in 2017. This is due in part to SOAR&#8217;s potential ability to reduce human intervention needed to act on security threats, freeing up human experts\u2019 time to deal with issues that require more creative thinking than an AI can offer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lower Chance of Human Error: <\/b>One of the critical weak points of any cybersecurity system is the human element. No matter how well you plan, no matter how effective your technology, all it takes is one or two people making a mistake for your network to be left defenseless against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/what-ransomware-attackers-look-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ransomware<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cybersecurity threats<\/a>. By automating as much of their solutions as is reasonable, cybersecurity companies hope to reduce the likelihood of human error leading to cyber catastrophe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Phishing Detection: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/phishing-campaign-used-morse-code-to-evade-detection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phishing<\/a> is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/how-you-get-malware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most effective techniques<\/a> hackers have to infiltrate your network. AI integrated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/best-secure-email-gateways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email security tools<\/a> can analyze the context and content of emails to detect signs of suspicious behavior like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/email-spoofing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email spoofing<\/a> and block potentially malicious emails before they hit users\u2019 inboxes. This can be useful both for simple phishing scams and more advanced techniques like spear phishing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Biometric Authentication: <\/b>In lieu of or alongside traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/best-password-managers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">password protection<\/a>, some companies have turned to biometric and facial recognition scanners powered by AI to potentially block hackers\u2019 access to user accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Behavioral Analytics: <\/b>Many companies have begun experimenting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/best-user-and-entity-behavior-analytics-ueba-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UEBA<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/applications\/behavioral-analytics-cybersecurity-does-it-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">behavioral analytics<\/a> solutions to help better identify anomalous user behavior and stop potential threats before they can do too much damage. This form of analytics can come in a variety of forms, such as an AI tracking unusual user login behaviors, such as someone logging in from a public library instead of their office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Want to Know More About AI\u2019s Role in Cybersecurity? Check Out <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/ai-ml-cybersecurity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>AI &amp; ML Cybersecurity: The Latest Battleground for Attackers &amp; Defenders<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-Effective-is-AI-in-Cybersecurity\"><\/span>How Effective is AI in Cybersecurity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A common refrain when talking about AI and automation is that it ultimately can&#8217;t replicate the creative and strategic thinking that human intelligence provides. Based on how AI has been implemented and developed thus far, this is accurate.<\/p>\n<p>The tasks AI and machine learning have proven to be good at are tasks with simple, predictable patterns and tasks that require the processing of large data sets. This is how AI can potentially speed up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/best-incident-response-tools-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident response<\/a> times, as humans wouldn\u2019t be able to process network traffic as quickly as automation can.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, in use cases where the AI has to deal with a number of unusual or unpredictable behaviors, it struggles. This is why behavioral analysis can be a mixed bag as a solution. A <a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/abstract\/document\/8855782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 paper published by IEEE<\/a> goes into more detail about it, explaining, \u201cMachine learning has limitations dealing with privileged users, developers, and knowledgeable insiders. Those users represent a unique situation because their job functions often require irregular behaviours. This cause[s] difficulties for statistical analysis to create a baseline [for] the algorithms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if an AI system is poorly implemented, it can be weaponized against a company in an attack. This could happen at the data level, where malicious actors manipulate the data sets that AI algorithms use to learn their behaviors. Vulnerabilities could also come from biases or gaps in the data. Hackers sometimes use a technique called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/applications\/neural-fuzzing-software-security-testing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neural fuzzing<\/a> to determine where weaknesses lie in software that processes input data.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent your AI from working against you, it\u2019s important to create safeguards. You should regularly evaluate the configurations of your devices and applications and monitor other areas of your cybersecurity infrastructure that aren\u2019t directly-related to artificial intelligence tools. This is not only beneficial for your AI, but also for your security posture overall.<\/p>\n<p>AI\u2019s increased prominence in cybersecurity also goes both ways. As more cybersecurity enterprises leverage AI to boost their security, hackers are able to do much the same, through methods like AI-generated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/phishing-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phishing<\/a> emails or constantly-changing malware signatures.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, well functioning AI is difficult to build, even for companies with the resources and expertise to do so. As such, your average cyber criminal probably isn\u2019t going to be using AI for their next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/social-engineering-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social engineering<\/a> scheme. However, state-backed hackers from countries like Russia might have access to sophisticated AI hacking capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom-Line-AI-in-Cybersecurity\"><\/span>Bottom Line: AI in Cybersecurity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>AI\u2019s efficacy in cybersecurity is the same as in any field it\u2019s deployed in. When focused on the things AI has been proven to do effectively and consistently, it\u2019s useful, but when focused anywhere else, it struggles, often mightily so.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge is key when implementing AI into a cybersecurity strategy, both knowledge in the form of the data you feed your AI to train it and knowledge in the form of understanding what AI is good at and how to best leverage that for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, AI, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/top-ngfw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">firewalls<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/intrusion-detection-and-prevention-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IDPS<\/a>, is a tool, and no one tool is going to be the cure for all your cybersecurity woes. Although artificial intelligence can be a benefit to your organization\u2019s cybersecurity strategy, you still need people working to support it. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be putting your weight on an unstable foundation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Looking to Upgrade Your Cybersecurity Capabilities?
