Being proactive in threat detection

Businesses that remain holding on to legacy cybersecurity systems rather than updating and modernising
their technology only grow increasingly ineffective in preventing threats. In relying on being able to resolve
issues after the damage has already happened, they are simply allowing otherwise preventable attacks
from being perpetrated.

With the right AI system in place, next generation SIEM solutions can contextualise information to predict
cyber threats, rather than just detecting them at the impact stage. Further still, multiple AI models can be
used in sequence to optimise the threat detection output to detect early signs of an attack. By integrating
with automated data and web scrapers to incorporate the latest contextual threat intelligence for
organisations, AI-driven solutions provide near real-time adjustment ability to reflect real exposure from
vulnerabilities, compromised credentials, malicious domain spotting within the context, and risk exposure
of any client. Further still, alerts can be prioritised and adjusted based on the potential impact to the
organisation, putting the most serious alerts at the top of the agenda.

Embracing AI in threat detection is critical

Predictive threat detection using the potential of AI is critical in ensuring businesses avoid the cost of
potentially damaging attacks. Dynamically changing threats have to be combatted with an equally
complex and reactive prevention system – something companies must realise quickly to ensure customer
data remains safe and protected. AI solutions also help business leaders keep their own peace of mind
– less focus or worry about the threat of a destructive cyber-attack, and instead more time and money
focussed on business development.
