Tope Olufon, senior analyst at research and advisory firm Forrester, will speak on bridging the gap between human intelligence and AI in terms of cyber security at the ITWeb Security Summit 2025.
Artificial intelligence can be used to strengthen defences against cyber crime, particularly within threat intelligence, forensics and defence. However, the technology is just as useful for cyber criminals, which is why organisations must strike a balance between human intelligence and AI.
Olufon says organisations continue to experiment with the features of AI and can find value in automating the manual and repetitive aspects of security. Organisations still need people’s cognitive ability and reasoning power, which should be integrated with the value that AI can bring to business – particularly in their ability to defend resources against threat actors.“Threat actors have a higher risk tolerance… they don’t prescribe to any laws or follow any regulation or policy. This means organisations need to be pragmatic about their use and control of AI,” said Olufon.
