Security News > 2023 > December > Advanced ransomware campaigns expose need for AI-powered cyber defense

In this Help Net Security interview, Carl Froggett, CIO at Deep Instinct, discusses emerging trends in ransomware attacks, emphasizing the need for businesses to use advanced AI technologies, such as deep learning, for prevention rather than just detection and response.

What are the emerging trends in ransomware attacks, and how should businesses prepare for them using AI technologies?

Thanks to the advanced capabilities of AI, we can now prevent ransomware and other cyber attacks rather than just detect and respond to them.

Responding is no longer good enough as the evidence shows, we need to go back to a prevention first philosophy, with prevention capabilities embedded at different points in infrastructure, storage and business applications using AI. This is the only way businesses can truly protect themselves from advanced forms of ransomware and threats, specifically by leveraging a more sophisticated form of AI to fight against AI threats - such as deep learning.

How does deep learning differ from standard machine learning models in identifying and mitigating ransomware threats?

Security teams won't win the battle against AI with legacy tools; rather, organizations require cybersecurity solutions that are natively built with DL models to mitigate the volume and velocity of evolving AI threats.
