AI Boosts Cybersecurity Efficiency Amid Talent Shortage
Imagine computers that can help protect your stuff online.
Experts say that these computers, called AI, can do a lot of the basic work, like figuring out if something is dangerous.
But, real people are still needed to make big decisions and fix tricky problems.
This AI helps because there aren't enough people working in cybersecurity, so it helps the experts do their jobs better.
Mandiant, a cybersecurity company, uses AI and is also helping companies in India prepare for cyberattacks by simulating these attacks and helping the teams to respond well.
AI could handle up to 80% of cybersecurity tasks, according to Mandiant's CTO.
The automated tasks include threat summarization, automated workflows, and initial investigations.
Human expertise remains crucial for governance and complex scenarios.
AI integration will alleviate, not threaten, the cybersecurity talent shortage.
Mandiant observes evolving cybersecurity approaches in Indian boardrooms.
