Thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI), you can now deposit cheques online from your homes hassle-free. Furthermore, AI allows you to decipher handwriting, making online cheque processing a reality these days.

As far as the importance of AI in cybersecurity is concerned, it enables cybersecurity professionals in detecting and resolving numerous security risks residing in corporate networks of different organizations proactively.

How is AI transforming cybersecurity in 2021?

As previously discussed, AI is providing numerous solutions to cybersecurity experts worldwide. Besides, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will replace the need for human beings in cybersecurity by the end of 2030.

In short, AI will help organizations or businesses significantly improve the performance of their cybersecurity departments in the future without relying on human expertise.

As expected, various organizations are already relying on AI concepts when they want to detect and eliminate potential cyber risks within their networks timely.

Moreover, 80% of telecom companies are benefiting from AI notions to protect themselves against dangerous cybersecurity issues like hacking, data theft, identity theft, and others accordingly.

The best thing about implementing AI concepts is that companies can reduce their cost by 12% in terms of threats and breaches detection. In addition to this, they can follow use cases of AI to improve their performance cybersecurity-wise.

This is one of the major reasons why organizations or businesses are investing huge amounts of money in Artificial Intelligence (AI) globally.

Considering the significance of AI in cybersecurity, we can expect that the role of AI when it comes to enhancing cybersecurity of organizations or businesses will increase with the passage of time.

Is everything rosy with Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

There is no denying that AI offers various advantages to its users, be it companies, medium-sized enterprises and small businesses. However, the worst thing about AI is that it is easily accessible to everyone, including cyber terrorists, which is not good from a cybersecurity point of view.

Therefore, hackers can use the said concepts of AI to accomplish their malicious objectives. Unfortunately, they can access AI models and use them to bypass prevailing cybersecurity practices of organizations or businesses easily.

As a result, they can gain control of corporate IT networks and misuse official data including customers? personal information and sensitive business communications to execute their notorious plans.

In this scenario, companies should use cybersecurity tools such as VPNs. They can try a VPN service that offers a free trial if they do not want to spend hundreds of bucks initially to see if it helps them safeguard their digital assets from hackers and other cyber goons. Once they are satisfied with its performance, they can consider using its premium packages as per their preferences.

Apart from this, there is no harm in availing different online protection tools like antivirus software, email encryption software, password managers, firewalls, KPIs, etc. Once organizations or companies start using them, they can effectively protect their official devices and business data from the prying eyes of notorious elements over the web.

Lastly, they should provide basic cybersecurity training to improve their employee?s personal privacy either remote or office-based comprehensively.

As a result, they will start updating their official devices regularly. Moreover, they can secure their devices from phishing attacks as they will not click on a suspicious link provided in emails sent from unknown people.

They can also start using password managers like LastPass and others that will enable them to protect their crucial login credentials trouble-free.

Wrapping Things Up

Artificial Intelligence (AI) does have all the right ingredients to transform the future of cybersecurity to the next level. However, companies or businesses should be smart enough to apply AI notions within their workplaces with caution.

Besides, they should not stop following certain cyber hygiene practices at any cost, like installing antivirus software on official devices, data backup, password managers, email encryption tools, etc.

This way, they can protect themselves from the consequences of hacking, data theft, malware, phishing and other cyber risks in 2021 and beyond.
