From healthcare to manufacturing to agriculture and beyond, artificial intelligence is revamping business models and creating new opportunities for organizations to innovate.
These are critical initiatives, as the cybersecurity profession may be considered as one. However, the complexity introduced by the rapid adoption of AI and other emerging technologies points toward the need for a more holistic set of skills per function for cybersecurity to be holistic and effective. Cybersecurity expertise is critical per function, but looking into cybersecurity in a silo is causing many of the failures we see today.
Finally, they need to understand emerging technologies like AI, as one cannot protect what they do not understand—whether this means identifying risks and building controls or conducting forensics and investigations in ecosystems that embed AI., puts it,"From application programming interface integration to the creation of increasingly persuasive phishing emails, AI opens the door to a much more sophisticated world of cybercrime.
For example, IBM is already demonstrating how AI can replace manual processes by automating incident responses—accelerating alert investigations and triage by anWhen we look at the tasks that cybersecurity functions are called to perform, we can safely predict that AI will heavily support manual work in areas like data collection, analytics, risk assessment, audits, cybersecurity operations and even the design of cybersecurity architectures.
