Security in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The Cyber Threat Landscape

The cyber threat landscape has been tilted in favor of the bad actor, but the rules of the game are now changing.

While cyber defense resources have grown at a much slower rate than the amount of data, the number of devices, and breadth of users we protect, second-generation cloud architectures, powered by built-in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities, are driving a new era of data security.

These next-generation cloud-based technologies not only enhance security capabilities significantly by addressing problems of scale, human error, and response time, they also free the workforce for more strategic, value-added tasks.

With this survey, we shed light on the attitudes and practices adopted by C-Suite executives, policymakers, and the general public in relation to data security, the challenges and opportunities they face, and the extent to which they are leveraging emerging cloud-based technologies to take cyber resilience to the next level.

More specifically, this survey informs us on:

• Views on top security vulnerabilities
• Who should be responsible for protecting our data
• Adoption of technology now available to combat today’s threats

Our Security Challenges Continue to Mount

However, thanks to continued innovation in enterprise cloud architecture, we have an opportunity to prevail against today’s threats.

We believe the insights presented in this report will get us one step closer to understanding the threat landscape in which we operate, where security vulnerabilities lie, and the actions we as businesses, government and citizens need to take to effectively protect our critical enterprise systems.
