AI BOOSTS CYBER DEFENSE
How will AI Impact Security
Operations?
Despite the proliferation of
advanced security tools, AI’s
precise role and efficacy in
fortifying cybersecurity remain
enigmatic. Recent research
conducted by Adarma underscores
the ambiguity surrounding AI’s
contribution to cybersecurity.
This uncertainty is reflected in our
latest research, which surveyed
500 security operations leaders
in UK organisations boasting over
2,000 employees, probing their
insights into security operations.
The results revealed that 74%
of these professionals struggle
with the concept of how AI can
augment their daily responsibilities.
Nonetheless, the horizon of AI
applications in cybersecurity is
promising, as 61% of respondents
envision automation taking charge
of up to 30% of tasks currently
entrusted to human security
professionals. Additionally, 17%
of respondents believe AI could
shoulder more than 50%
of these responsibilities.
Streamline Reporting
Processes
Our research found that AI can
potentially play a pivotal role in
cybersecurity, primarily in two key
domains. The first domain revolves
around minimising the occurrence
of false positives- a persistent
daily challenge for security teams.
Presently, each false-positive alert
necessitates human scrutiny,
creating a compelling case for
AI to assess these occurrences
and provide context-specific
determinations rapidly.
Intriguingly, 53% of respondents
express a strong desire to
streamline the time-consuming
reporting task, yet a substantial
70% acknowledge their present
underutilisation of automation
in this respect. Furthermore,
42% believe that AI could provide
superior contextual information,
enhancing decision-making. This
underscores the substantial scope
and potential for automation to
assume responsibility for repetitive
and mundane tasks, ultimately
enhancing efficiency, precision,
and reducing the burden on
security teams.
