Reinventing Cybersecurity with Artificial Intelligence: The new frontier in digital security - a podcast by Capgemini

Organizations rely on AI more and more with each passing day. They use it for everything from improving sales figures to enhancing the customer experience. But one application that has hitherto been overlooked is in cybersecurity. In a world rife with cyber threats, AI can help avoid unnecessary losses. We wanted to learn more about how they are doing it, and, more importantly, how they can do it better. To these ends, in the new report from the Capgemini Research Institute, Reinventing Cybersecurity with Artificial Intelligence, we surveyed 850 senior executives from IT Information Security, Cybersecurity and IT Operations in seven sectors across 10 countries and spoke in-depth with industry experts and academics. We also analyzed 20 use cases of AI in cybersecurity spread across IT, OT, and IoT. We found that: • Firms find it increasingly necessary to bolster cybersecurity with AI – nearly two-thirds don’t think they can identify critical threats without AI. • The pace of adoption of AI in cybersecurity is picking up – almost three-quarters of firms are testing AI in cybersecurity use cases in some way. • There is a strong business case for using AI in cybersecurity – three in five firms say that using AI improves the accuracy and efficiency of cyber analysts. Our findings suggest that to successfully implementing AI in cybersecurity initiatives, organizations need to define a clear roadmap. This means identifying data sources and creating data platforms to operationalize AI, selecting the right use cases to accelerate and maximize benefits, collaborating externally to enhance threat intelligence, deploying security, orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) to improve security management, training cyber analysts to be AI-ready, and installing governance for AI in cybersecurity to deliver long-term improvement.
