Artificial Intelligence is Playing a Bigger Role in Cybersecurity, But the Bad Guys May Benefit the Most
Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in cybersecurity for both good and bad. This blog explores how rises in cyberattacks are helping fuel growth in the market for AI-based security products and motivating hackers to take advantage. Read the blog for an overview of global market projections for AI-based security and the impact on cyberthreats.
How is AI impacting cybersecurity?
AI is increasingly being utilized by organizations to improve threat detection and protect systems. It helps in identifying patterns of attacks and prioritizing responses based on real-world risks. However, cyber criminals are also leveraging AI to execute more sophisticated attacks, such as AI-generated phishing emails that have higher open rates compared to traditional methods.
What is the market growth for AI-based cybersecurity products?
The global market for AI-based cybersecurity products was valued at approximately $14.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach around $133.8 billion by 2030. This growth is driven by the increasing frequency of cyberattacks and the need for more advanced security solutions, particularly following the shift to remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic.
How are cyber criminals using AI?
Cyber criminals are using AI to identify vulnerabilities in systems and create large volumes of phishing emails that are more likely to deceive victims. AI can also generate malware that adapts to evade detection by security measures. This evolving landscape makes it challenging for defenders to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated attacks.
