FEATURE: CYBERSECURITY
AI/ML are also enabling hyper automation
and the ability to generate quality insights
from huge amounts of data.
IoT sensors, along with the growing use of
cloud computing, microservices and highly
connected systems, give black-hat hackers
even more attack points. And criminals
using AI/ML themselves can more
efficiently target and exploit these.
Such technologies can also assist
cybercriminals with precisely targeting
victims with authentic-looking social
engineering attacks. By comparison,
phishing emails of the past were often
riddled with tell-tale grammatical errors,
making them far easier to spot.
To make matters worse, there remains a
lack of skilled cybersecurity professionals
available to help enterprises protect
themselves. It’s estimated that an
additional 4.07 million are needed, with
65% of organisations reporting a shortage
in such talent.
