How AI is revolutionising the landscape of cybersecurity

The average global cost of a data breach is $4.45 million. Two key applications of AI in cybersecurity include phishing detection and secure user authentication. Currently, 16% of data breaches involve phishing. AI algorithms leverage natural language processing (NLP) to detect phishing attempts and track user behaviours. AI is also transforming user authentication through advanced methods like facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, voice recognition and behavioural biometrics, providing a more secure alternative to traditional passwords and PINs.
