Data Breaches: The Role Of AI In Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence ("AI") uses algorithms to analyse data and identify patterns that may signify malicious activity or suspicious behaviour. This can be used to flag potential threats and to alert security teams for further investigation.

AI has multifaceted capabilities including:

• Enhances precision of malware detection systems by detecting data patterns indicating questionable activities
• Monitors user activity across multiple platforms
• Identifies and flags suspicious activity
• Detects new strains of existing malware, preventing malicious actions including ransomware attacks
• Minimises the impact of cybersecurity threats
• Assists in identifying suspicious content, such as phishing links and malicious URLs
