HOW AFRICAN ENTERPRISES CAN BECOME FUTURE READY IN CYBER SECURITY
Both AI and quantum computing have the potential to raise the barrier in the near future on the level of risks associated with cyber security . Kumar Vaibhav and Amritesh Anand at In2IT share their perspectives on how cybersecurity administrators can leverage AI and the services of specialised cyber security partners to reduce the vulnerability and risks for African enterprises .
Artificial Intelligence has influenced the landscape of cyber warfare , serving as a double-edged sword for both attackers and defenders . Defined as machines capable of mimicking human-like tasks through experiential learning , AI encompasses various subsets such as Machine Learning , ML and Natural Language Processing , revolutionising how organisations operate .
For defenders , AI offers unprecedented efficiency and accuracy in processing vast amounts of data , empowering cybersecurity professionals to detect and respond to threats with greater speed and precision . This technological advancement equips defenders with invaluable tools to safeguard sensitive information and infrastructure .
Conversely , attackers leverage AI to exploit vulnerabilities and evade traditional defence mechanisms , posing significant challenges to cybersecurity efforts . By harnessing AI-driven techniques , attackers can launch sophisticated and targeted attacks , amplifying the complexity of cyber threats .
AI enhances the capabilities of both defenders and attackers , creating a dynamic equilibrium where
