Transformative Benefits of ML&AI in

Cybersecurity

By Gizem Yılmaz, Product Owner, Nextray AI

In the modern digital era, the significance of cyber security has escalated. With the growing dependence
of businesses and organizations on technology, their susceptibility to cyber attacks has also risen. Due
to the ever-evolving nature of cyber attacks, it is practically impossible for an individual to manually detect
and mitigate all the threats faced by a company. Hackers continuously devise new attack methods with
specific objectives in mind. To counter these threats, cyber security experts must constantly adjust their
strategies. Take the case of log4j, for instance, which went unnoticed for a long time before resurfacing
in December 2021. Introducing such unknown threats into a network can result in significant damage,
potentially impacting the organization in profound ways if not promptly detected, identified and prevented.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a valuable tool in this realm, offering promising solutions. Let's
delve into the exciting realm of ML-powered NDR and discover the transformative impact it has on
safeguarding networks against evolving cyber threats.
