In today’s rapidly changing, digitally connected world, the rate and complexity of cyber threats is in overshoot mode. Old-school cybersecurity defenses, which were once considered to be able to stand up against attacks, are now challenged by an environment that is always changing. Be it ransomware, spam, or a targeted insider threat from a rogue employee, businesses today must reckon with an ecosystem of risks that require smarter, faster, and more adaptable methods of defense.

That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in; the disruptor that is transforming threat detection and response. By automatically performing advanced security tasks, enhancing detection capabilities, and facilitating proactive defense, AI is revolutionizing the way we defend our digital assets.

In this article, we’ll be looking at the way AI is changing the face of cybersecurity and why it’s something that more and more companies can’t do without.
