Maybe you’ve heard of the term cyber resilience recently – especially in the context of artificial intelligence or AI.
Cyber resilience is, in a nutshell, a company or organization’s ability to anticipate, withstand and subsequently recover from a cyber-attack powered by AI.
It’s a way for companies or organizations to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of cyberattacks and it is a step further than traditional cybersecurity, in that it assumes the attack will be successful on some level and focuses on keeping your business running and minimizing damage.
After all, cyberattacks powered by AI are getting to be good – really good – sometimes fooling the experts with video and audio that are incredibly realistic.
While AI can power these cyberattacks, it can also help spot them — building cyber resilience.
AI offers enhanced threat detection, analyzing vast amounts of data quickly to sniff out bad actors. And it can respond quickly to threats, locking down potentially compromised systems and then send out countermeasures.
It can also help your organization stay head of the curve by predicting potential threats.
Also, because training is so critical to cyber security, AI can help your business tailor training and improve employee awareness – cutting the risk of human error.
With technology moving at lighting speed, improving your company’s security posture is paramount. So, building more cyber resilience into your processes is a must.
No one wants to deal with an IT disaster caused by a cyber-attack, but the fact is, it is likely to happen to your business at some point.
Building in cyber resilience can give your company a competitive edge, as it means you will likely be in a better position to defend and withstand attacks – freeing you up to do the work you want to do.
