Let me riddle you for a sec, if you are under a cyber attack how would you know?
Do you have the technical and human resources to contain a cyber attack with 20 minutes of detection?
These stats may shock you:
With 94% of malware attacks carried out through phishing emails and the cost of a data breach stacking up to 3.9 million dollars on average, it’s time to find better proactive security solutions in dealing with our modern threat landscape and of course predicting the next major cyber attack.
Picture this scenario for a moment. It’s getting towards the end of business on a Friday evening — your IT Security Team can’t wait to hit the happy hour centres in town. Suddenly, the system monitoring alerts flash red signals everywhere; the company has been Ransomwared, and all data and critical system files have been encrypted. Luckily, the IT Security Lead finds the only server online after the Ransomware attack and attempts to investigate the root cause of the attack. But there are no system logs, firewall logs, and even the basic IPS/IDS logs to correlate and make sense of the incident. It turns out that the company has adopted a traditional security approach of deploying antivirus and firewalls in a disjointed and uncorrelated fashion without prioritising security intelligence.
This is the current situation of many organisations — they employ traditional cyber defence systems that are too costly, complex and resource-demanding. Effective cyber defence is not measured by the number of security tools deployed in your infrastructure but by the quality of security intelligence that can be gathered to orchestrate security, automate detection and response in a timely fashion.
Artificial intelligence plays three vital functions in cyber defence:
The convergence of these functions creates a cascading security intelligence effect to quickly detect and respond to a cyber attack.
AI-driven cyber defence provides opportunities for early detection and remediation of cyber attacks — due to the high volume of security events data analysed in near real-time. IT security teams can apply their experience to qualify the events and separate the substance from the noise.
AI-driven cyber defence is adaptable, it’s designed to quarantine polymorphic threats which enable IT Security Teams to create bespoke policies and alerts to mitigate further occurrences.
Yes, predicting the next cyber attack through AI-driven security intelligence and human expertise is possible. However, the real question is — what are the small changes needed to get your organisation AI-driven in the right cyber security direction?
