Artificial Intelligence for smarter Cybersecurity
So where do I think AI will be in five to ten years? While the possibilities
are endless I believe the most consequential will be secure application
development name is Sridhar Muppidi, I'm the CTO for IBM Security. Our clients
are going through a digital transformation journey, they're modernizing
applications data and infrastructure. IBM delivers a number of security
solutions to help our clients protect detect and respond, but the reality is
that security professionals that use our offerings are inundated with too many
things to do, too much of data, very little time, and too few skills. AI can
have a huge impact on cyber security solutions and professionals.
Since the inception of AI we've learned that to make at the right AI
system we need the right data we need to train the AI model on the right data
test it for bias as well as to ensure that it is robust on the solution side.
AI can help us provide accuracy in detection ai can help in accelerating the
investigation and automating the response it can also help provide proactive
mechanisms of protection so that you're safeguarding against threats
we made a massive investment in AI, and IBM and 100 of our products use AI my
favourite solution is how we use AI to do a continuous verification of a user
based on behavioural biometrics this helps us evaluate the risk of a specific
user for a specific session. So based on that we're able to subject the user
to right amount of friction. If the risk is low we don't need to subject the
user from multiple passwords on the other hand if the risk is high you may
want to prompt the user for a password or even a second-factor authentication.
We're very fortunate to have a large number of our clients using our
solutions across number of different industry verticals. A few that come to my
mind are Wimbledon suggested as well as RGS Nordic this is exactly where we
apply AI's speed and accuracy to help create proactive protection improve the
accuracy of detection accelerate the investigation as well as improve the
automation in response.
We have a lot more to learn and evolve the maturity of AI in the next few
decades to come. While the possibilities are endless my vision is for AI to
develop secure applications by default so that they are not as vulnerable and
reduce the number of breaches in the industry
I believe IBM is well poised to not only help with the secure application
development, but also secure data across hybrid cloud as well as secure
infrastructure this ability to secure the journey to hybrid cloud will help
our clients embrace digital transformation with a lot more confidence.
