How will AI enhance security for the future?

[TechTrainer11]

Have you plans to integrate Ai within your security infrastructure if so how will you know how effective itis

Possible effectiveness are endless. For examples we'll use AI to analyze network traffic patterns to detect anomalies, tracking metrics to reduce false positives... In Redteaming, AI can mimic ransomware behavior or phishing tactics to identify vulnerabilities... It will be a clash of algorithms when Blue Team AI faces off against Red Team AI.

Previously it was from manual detection to log based detection, then we moved to using some kind of database offline or online over a server to verify signatures and flag packets or IP address( IP abuse database is an example where we flag an IP based on its previous use)


With automation now very possible in 2025 with AI doing al of these it will really help Software Defined Automation, Networking and Security Possible - made possible via very adaptable and scalable APIs that developers can piggyback security devices/hardwares, softwares to.

AI is increasingly used in security to detect and respond to threats faster and more accurately. Here's how it works and how we’d measure its effectiveness:

1. Threat Detection: AI can monitor systems, recognize patterns, and flag unusual activity that might be an attack.
2. Automated Response: If AI spots a threat, it can take action—like blocking an IP or isolating a system—without waiting for a human.
3. Learning Over Time: AI improves by learning from new threats, so it gets better at spotting them as time goes on.
4. Measuring Effectiveness:To know if AI is working, we'd track:
   • False Alerts: Does it incorrectly flag normal activity?
   • Response Time: How fast does it act?
   • Accuracy: How well does it find real threats?
   • Breach Prevention: Does it stop attacks before they happen?
5. Human Checks: Even with AI, humans still need to review the decisions to make sure it’s working right.
6. Regular Testing: We’d also regularly test the system by simulating attacks to see how well it holds up.

Hope this helps

But understand that this comes with some learning curve - AI integration into IT infastructure for threat detection. - Dont forget about some of the negatives or limitations too but with time in the coming years there will be great improvement and adaptation.

Thanks.

Interesting concepts that you've unpacked there. My only skepticism about AI, from a security standpoint, is that for every defense capability mechanism that AI develops/enhances there seems to be an an equally nefarious offensive capability that's developed in tandem. It makes me cringe when I see videos of AI automation of malware development.

Still on the subject of AI, here are a couple of useful resources I've stumbled upon recently, the caveat being these are vendor courses, so there will be emphasis on the vendor's products.

1. Securiti is offering free courses on AI governance , privacy Ops and Data command center fundamentals . I 've begun the AI governance offering

AI Security & Governance Certification - Securiti Education

Earn your AI Governance Certification, mastering key aspects of generative AI, global AI regulations, AI compliance, AI risk management, and AI governance frameworks.

PrivacyOps Certification - Securiti Education

The PrivacyOps Certification covers core concepts in data privacy laws, operationalizing data privacy, and the role of automation in simplifying data privacy management.

2. Cisco is also offering some AI courses. I 'm almost done with the AI Solutions on Cisco infrastructure essential. I must say it's pretty comprehensive but of course with the caveat i mentioned earlier. Personally, the course does blend well with Security X, especially with regards to application of architectural concepts

Cisco U.

I would love to see a vendor neutral specialization on AI from Comptia. Anyway there is so much to learn......

CompTIA will possibly consider this
