The pros & cons of AI in cybersecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with artificial intelligence (AI) emerging as both a powerful defensive tool and a potential threat vector. Organisations are increasingly recognising this duality, with more technology executives planning to increase cybersecurity funding (87%) than AI funding (84%) in the coming year.

For IT security leaders, success in this evolving landscape requires a balanced approach that includes implementing strong governance frameworks, maintaining human oversight of critical decisions, and combining AI tools with traditional security measures for a comprehensive defence strategy.

Inside this e-guide, we explore how AI offers remarkable capabilities for threat detection, automated response, and predictive analytics, and what security teams can do to address emerging threats such as malinformation and AI-powered attacks.
