With the rising complexities come higher stakes for IT staffs and their companies. Failure is simply not an option, and security execu- tives and experts are betting, or at least hoping, emerging technologies such as the triumvirate of artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation can keep them one hand ahead of the bad guys. Despite the nascent stage of development and the market, 64 percent of IT profes- sionals surveyed already say new technologies such as these are needed to discover and understand threats that are active in their IT infra- structures. Just more than half agree that AI technologies such as machine learning and behavioral analytics are essential to detecting attacks on the inside before they do damage. At issue is the ever-increasing need for speed. Not only are the at- tackers evolving and shifting rapidly, but lots of damage can be done in a little time. Detection and reaction must be swift or run the risk of dam- aged reputations or even lawsuits. Here the speed of machine only can help. According to Mike Banic, vice president of marketing at Vectra, which utilizes artificial intelligence to power its threat detection and re- sponse platform, organizations such as Texas A&M are reducing threat investigations from hours to minutes. Speed is especially important in complying with the newer privacy standards such as the recently en- acted EU GDPR.
