It has reached a pivotal point where artificial intelligence (AI) integration has become a significant boon. With the increasing development of the new and more complex attacks, traditional security solutions are no longer adequate to respond to new threats and continues which makes the implementation of Artificial Intelligence mandatory for Essential InfoSec.

Improving the Security Performance and Mitigating Threats

AI-powered systems can analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and detect anomalies that may indicate potential threats:

• Supervising networks 24/7 and analyzing networks traffic

• Mitigation of advanced persistent threats (APTs)

• Sustaining document control and management

Therefore there is need for the integration of predictive analytics in an endeavour to enhance its ability of identifying and dealing with proactively avoiding risks that may affect it.

By leveraging machine learning algorithms and historical data, AI systems can identify potential vulnerabilities, assess risk levels, and provide insights for proactive risk mitigation strategies:

• Vulnerability scanning and prioritization consists of techniques that are applied in the identification and prioritizing of the target scanner host’s vulnerabilities.

• This paper seeks to analyze how organizations can mitigate or predict cyber attacks in the future.

• Third-party risks are the risks associated with third-party interactions including suppliers, partners, consultants, and contractors.

Intelligent User Behavior Analytics

Built to analyze patterns, AI performs exceptionally well within user behavior analytics (UBA) scope. AI-powered UBA solutions can monitor and analyze user activities, detect anomalies, and identify potential insider threats or compromised accounts:

• To have a rough understanding of the user behavior patterns, it is crucial to monitor and analyze users’ actions, reactions, and further behavior on the Web sites.

• Even in instances where account compromises are identified, their management remains complex due to various factors, topically the sophistication and evolving nature of cyber threats.

Continuous Learning and Adaptation

One of the primary strengths of AI in regard to cybersecurity is that it can learn with each model and case. 

As new threats emerge and tactics evolve, AI systems can be trained on the latest data and intelligence, enabling them to stay ahead of the curve:

• Ability to update the information as it accumulates from various sources new and security threats.

• The fifth element is agility in the face of new and emerging threats and attacks that are different from those this company and its clients have encountered before.

• Making stakeholders and individuals aware of weaknesses that have not been evident before

Even so, it is crucial for those looking to advance AI’s role in cybersecurity to remember that it’s not a panacea. To promote their responsible and ethically sound use in Essential InfoSec, AI systems should be designed to work within secure development and deployment architectures, complemented by human professionals capable of analyzing the results and determining the correct course of actions, as well as be governed and regulated by robust legal frameworks.
