An overview

Digitalisation & Technology, 21.01.2022

Jarosław Nestioruk, Security Architect at ERGO Technology & Services S.A., is optimistic, that Artificial Intelligence will play major role in Cybersecurity sector: “If we use the right number of logical queries, we can eliminate a lot of the noise that we see in everyday work in cybersecurity.” 

Cybersecurity and AI 

Accurate analysis can eliminate potential threats before they are triggered, says Jarosław Nestioruk, Security Architect at ERGO Technology & Services S.A.: “AI in Endpoint Security lets us eliminate the triage process for a high number of logs. The proper configuration of AI in UEBA systems (UEBA = User Entity Behavior Analytics) allows us to identify user anomalies in relation to performed actions. Securing authentication with the use of artificial intelligence for correct facial recognition, Captcha and fingerprint scanners have already existed for several years and work reasonably well.

However, along with the emerging excitement about AI technology, we should also ask ourselves at what cost our level of security is increased. Each of the solutions above requires learning to increase its effectiveness. And learning involves providing massive amounts of data about our behaviours, actions, operations, etc.
