Given the degree to which AI has already shifted the landscape in the cybersecurity field, it is hard to imagine what the future may have in store for the growth of this budding technology. Many experts believe that we are about to see an AI arms race of sorts, ultimately leading to a shift towards predictive threat detection that occurs autonomously rather than by means of manual monitoring.
Systems will now go beyond detection to taking immediate action to identify and neutralize threats the instant the system recognizes an abnormality.
Rather than reacting to an attack that has already occurred, predictive AI can analyze real-time data to identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited, allowing for proactive patches.
