Tomorrow, October 29th at 5:00 PM, we invite you to participate in our free webinar: “Artificial intelligence applied to cybersecurity” 

An online event that will feature the participation of the Azulae Group, a leader in consulting and development of benchmark technological solutions in Spain, and DarkTrace, a world leader in artificial intelligence applied to cybersecurity, winner of 17 awards in 2019.

For the past few years, companies have been clamoring for artificial intelligence solutions that can predictively solve their countless cybersecurity problems.

The problem stems from the challenge of increasing efficiency and profitability by using new technologies, without jeopardizing the organization's critical data and operations.

Cyberattacks are increasing worldwide, generating losses amounting to 74.15 trillion euros, which represents 0.8% of global GDP.

What is the situation in Spain??

In Spain, numerous reports reflect the serious cybersecurity situation faced by companies. In this regard, it is worth noting that:

•  The 72% system used by companies does not have the necessary security measures to manage it online.
• 99.81% of SMEs are poorly or not at all protected.

Spain is the 4th country where cyberattacks have increased the most in 2020

He Allianz Risk Barometer 2020 It shows the exponential growth in losses experienced by companies. It also details the most frequent cyberattacks, among which the following stand out:

• First, data breaches, which are unauthorized accesses to restricted data, and
• Secondly, ransomware, which are sophisticated and highly damaging attacks that include extortion.

According to IBM X-Force IRIS, 60,000 fraudulent websites were detected in 2020, in addition to fake social media accounts, malicious apps, banking trojans, and even impersonations of public bodies.

It should also be remembered that voice devices are a gateway for attackers since they are always on.

Finally, we highlight phishing through “deepfake” or face and voice forgery, which is becoming commonplace.

What does artificial intelligence offer us?

Artificial intelligence allows us to protect critical data systems and digital infrastructures in step with new threats, which are constantly evolving.

Consequently, one of the main contributions that artificial intelligence brings to cybersecurity is the ability to detect subtle deviations from the organization's life pattern and identify real threats.

Additionally, it offers unsupervised machine learning technology that emulates the human immune system. This allows it to anticipate, neutralize, and eliminate threats in real time.

The goal is to guarantee maximum security in all environments where the organization operates. In this regard, solutions already exist that autonomously protect the network, cloud applications (AWS & Azure), email (Office 365), and SaaS (Software as a Service), maintaining complete visibility and control over the digital infrastructure.

The #IntelligenceArtificial solutions we thought were futuristic are already here – they are part of the present!

Advantages offered by artificial intelligence applied to cybersecurity

Reality shows that artificial intelligence is transforming the world of cybersecurity. Consequently, two-thirds of companies already recognize the impossibility of addressing critical threats without artificial intelligence.

Previously, it could take weeks to implement security products on a medium-sized network with 500 applications and 4,500 different security rules.

Now, Plug & Play artificial intelligence solutions are accelerating the process, making it affordable, cost-effective and easy to implement.

All of this is possible thanks to solutions that learn network traffic patterns, recommend security policies, and create functional workload groupings.

Some other advantages of applying artificial intelligence to cybersecurity are detailed below:

1. Optimize the human resources responsible for technological security
2. Assist in vulnerability analysis
3. Automate routine tracking tasks
4. Eliminate false positives
5. Increase effectiveness with predictive behavioral analytics
6. Apply biometric security to protect devices
7. Control and visualize the 100% digital infrastructure
8. To ensure the prevention, detection, and timely defense of the organization
9. Speed up network recovery

In conclusion, we can affirm that artificial intelligence improves a company's diagnostic, descriptive, predictive, and defensive capabilities.

It is clear that the incorporation of artificial intelligence into cybersecurity is bringing about a paradigm shift.

Without a doubt, the adoption of artificial intelligence is generating a transcendent impact on the employees, markets, practices, and resources that an organization has.

Google's study indicates that Europe will need 350,000 cybersecurity professionals in the next three years to meet the challenge of the technological age.
