AI is moving very fast in the current digital world, and cybersecurity is no exception. It can aid defenders with lots of new tools to protect systems and data. However, attackers can also use it in new ways to breach, making it a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. Let’s look at how AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape—both in defense and on offense—and what it means for the future of digital security. AI can process huge amounts of data and find patterns, making it good at detecting malicious anomalies. This could be weird network traffic, suspicious logins or unauthorized data access. It can also automate the process of finding and prioritizing vulnerabilities in software and systems. By looking at code and network configurations, AI can find weaknesses that attackers can exploit—allowing us to patch and mitigate the risk. Automating incident response processes such as isolating infected systems, blocking malicious traffic and starting recovery processes can speed up the response to cyberattacks. AI can also help analyze cyberattack data to find the source, methods and scope of the attack. This is key to understanding attackers’ tactics and improving future defenses. Wimbledon partnered with IBM to detect and respond to threats against its digital platform.
