When a threat occurs, AI-powered systems take immediate action (once any aspect of the cyber kill chain has been identified), thereby significantly reducing the time between identification and mitigation.
AI in Firewalls and Endpoint Protection: Smart firewalls that leverage AI are constantly learning and adapting as traffic patterns change, identifying patterns and lessons that traditional technology can easily overlook. AI-enabled endpoint protection protects devices by evaluating behavior, learning behaviors, and spotting anomalies, then stopping the attack in real-time.
Automated Response to Cyber Threats: Typically, humans wait until after the issue is resolved to respond to the threat; AI, on the other hand, will take action immediately. Once a certain level of anomaly is detected, the AI can automatically isolate devices, block IP addresses, revoke access credentials, and terminate sessions, all without human intervention. This automated action significantly reduces the impact of an intrusion and substantially decreases the time to respond to an incident.
