Several distinct trends all point to an increased use of AI in cybersecurity. Recent breakthroughs in AI capabilities and the fast pace in which new ones are developed are only the enablers of this trend. The need and drive to use AI in cybersecurity stem from the explosion in the number of cyber-attacks suffered by all kinds of organizations, which increase pace every day. Cybersecurity workforce is getting increasingly overwhelmed with security warnings, and organizations cannot hire professionals fast enough to keep pace with it. The adoption of AI will allow companies to free up resources, reduce the demand in cybersecurity experts and let these experts concentrate in complex security initiatives. In addition, the fast-improving capabilities are going to facilitate more complex cyber-attacks at increasing speeds that no human can handle, making the use of AI for cybersecurity a must.
