How To Use AI For Network Security

25 September 2023 ronnie Comments Off

Artificial intelligence has revolutionised the digital and industrial world. Even when it comes to network security, AI and machine learning are swiftly becoming valuable tools with which to enhance and further strengthen enterprise security. With the increasing and evolving cyber-attack landscape, it is no longer sufficient to rely on human-based cybersecurity solutions, and AI is on its way to becoming the quickest, most efficient solution for network security. It can quickly analyse millions of events and identify different threats that might lead to malware, phishing and other types of cyberattacks on vulnerable businesses. Here are some of the best ways to use AI for network security.

Threat Detection

AI acts as a filter and analyses files and software to identify potential threats while avoiding false positives. AI algorithms can be trained for threat detection recognise patterns of known malware and identify and flag any new code that matches these patterns.

AI can also be used to analyse network traffic patterns and identify unusual activities that may indicate a security breach or cyberattack. Furthermore, it can identify known malware or attack patterns by comparing network traffic with a whole database of known threat signatures. Finally, AI can be used to analyse the behaviour of network users and devices to detect suspicious or malicious activities. 

Prompt Incident Response

AI-based security systems can be used to respond to any detected threats swiftly and automatically. It can also be programmed to manage and stop hacking attempts and minimise damage.

Vulnerability Assessment

AI can be used to identify potential vulnerabilities in systems and networks. This allows the enterprise to take proactive measures and mitigate potential threats before they can negatively impact its operations and security.

Multi-Factored Authentication

AI can be used to detect fraudulent login attempts and verify user identity with the help of multiple authentication systems like fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, and others which can prevent unwanted entry.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform network monitoring and protection. Apart from the more crucial security measures described above, it can be programmed to handle even the simplest of tasks like filtering out spam emails, blocking suspicious IP addresses, or identifying and isolating infected devices. AI can also prove invaluable in improving the efficiency of the network as it reduces the need for human intervention and reduces the risk of human error. Thanks to its ability to simplify and strengthen all aspects of the network, more engineers are now turning to AI to automate network configuration, management, and maintenance tasks, such as updating software, patching vulnerabilities, or adjusting bandwidth. 

AI is the future of network security. Organisations must start investing in AI-based security solutions for their network to ensure they are protected from all kinds of threats, including those based on AI.
