AI has been a game changer, particularly in Cybersecurity. From a simple browser search in your laptop to contacting your health insurance company, AI is there. At eMazzanti Technologies, we are leveraging this advanced tool in a variety of ways, from combating the dangers of dark web or the use of Copilot correct data storage issues for instance.
Benefits of AI in Cybersecurity
- Identify potential threats: With AI, cybersecurity professionals can quickly identify security issues and are able to fix them immediately.
- Automating routine tasks: AI can take care of tedious and annoying tasks, such as alert classification, patch organization and vulnerability analysis. This feature saves plenty of time for you and your staff. This way, your team can make sure to comply with complex regulations like GDPR, protecting your data and your client’s data.
- New ways to verify and monitor requests: with Ai, companies are able to identify and stop unusual behavior. This new technology helps Cyber Professionals discern between honest requests or false ones, which can stop malware intrusions. AI-enabled solutions also let us improve your access control.
In Cyber Security, as in life, nothing is absolutely perfect. Thus, AI brings risks as well as benefits.
- AI can be used to create new kinds of Cyber Threats: some bad actors use AI to create new and sophisticated malware that can be difficult to detect. New forms of ransomware, for example, can be designed by AI which specifically target critical files and in consequence, can cause greater harm.
- Deepfakes creation: with AI, scammers of all kinds can create a voice and/or video recording impersonating anyone. Thus, someone can receive a call that appears to be from his or her bank – but it may actually be a bad actor trying to get the user to reveal sensitive information the criminals will use to access and empty the user’s accounts.
- Phishing emails: AI now makes the typical phishing email of the “Nigerian prince” more credible. Now, the phishing emails created by AI appear to be an official communication from your bank, Amazon, or your electric company.
eMazzanti professionals recognize the risks and benefits of AI. We understand how this developing technology is a double-edged sword.
On one hand, AI helps Cyber Professionals save time, quickly detecting and neutralizing threats. On the other hand, AI provides cybercriminals with better ways to attack their victims. Trained eMazzanti professionals offer you a toolkit of world-class security solutions so you can be secured from AI risks while taking advantage of their benefits.
eMazzanti teams understand the need to embrace new technologies like AI, without forgetting that humans must have the last say. The combination of the human mind and AI is the best way to stem the rising number of Cyber Crimes.
