AI makes it possible for businesses to handle significantly higher volumes of incidents than was previously possible.
You can't protect what you don't know. This much-used adage illustrates one of the biggest problems facing cyber security professionals today.
So said Lukas van der Merwe, an executive for cyber security at Gijima, during a quick chat on the sidelines of ITWeb’s recent Security Summit in Cape Town. This is not the only value AI can add. Van der Merwe said that these tools also boost staff retention by giving less skilled analysts the chance to do more than just filter through noise. They now get the chance to respond to incidents end-to-end, which helps with job satisfaction and talent development, he added.
These tasks would usually have been handed to more experienced cyber security analysts but with the insights we get from AI, it is easier to assign tasks like these based on varying levels of complexity.This makes it possible for businesses to handle significantly higher volumes of incidents than was previously possible with the same amount of people.
