Keeping Pace with an Evolving Security and

Trust Landscape

By Dean Coclin, Senior Director, Digital Trust Specialist, DigiCert

It’s clear that 2023 will be remembered as the point that artificial intelligence (AI) stepped out of the
shadows and took center stage. Once an “under the hood” technology best understood by techies, AI
was quickly democratized by tools like ChatGPT, Siri, Alexa, and even Netflix. Today, even high school
students are getting comfortable using AI-powered technology.

However, the impact of AI reaches far beyond popular applications like online chatbots, school reports,
and funny memes on social media. Together with quantum computing, increasingly intelligent
technologies are rapidly transforming cybersecurity strategies. For security organizations charged with
protecting the enterprise, the time to prepare is now.

A double-edged sword

AI has already proven itself as a valuable option for defending the infrastructure. Enabling solutions like
advanced intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS), AI can help
organizations spot and respond to signs of possible breaches faster than earlier generations of IDS.
