Ramamoorthy is firmly on the affirmative side for using AI to fight cybercrime.
"Attackers use powerful techniques like AI to exploit unsuspecting end-users to gain access to privileged information by compromising said access points."
With that in mind, Ramamoorthy then asked why organizations aren't using the same technology to fight back? The time is ripe for upping the security and privacy protection game with the help of AI. Ramamoorthy offered several real-world cyberattack scenarios and how AI would assist cybercrime-fighters.
AI can monitor login patterns and set up thresholds depending on multiple variables like time of day, day of the week, and other recent trends in information access.
Solution: AI can be deployed at endpoints to help identify and quarantine malicious websites, thereby enabling better data-access practices combined with techniques like multifactor authentication and zero-trust security.
Ramamoorthy suggested using AI in cybersecurity is an excellent way to avoid being the lowest-hanging fruit on the digital tree, as not many organizations are now employing AI cybersecurity solutions.
