////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// As fresh data is regularly fed into the AI, Machine Learning algorithms get more efficient at pinpointing those specific threats. Human experts are great at spotting these tell-tale signs, but CISOs can’t always scale teams effectively, considering the sheer amounts of data they need to wade through. AI is the key here, as it quickly identifies anomalous data, streamlining the detection process, with humans adding the final check when separating normal data from potentially malicious activity. www.intelligentcio.com FEATURE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Can AI algorithms be adapted to the specific operational context of each industry sector? AI only does what you tell it to do and it answers the questions that you set it more efficiently over time. If our human experts ask generic questions, then we’ll get a generic response and vice versa. Therefore, it would be wrong to apply an industry-specific approach to all AI Dr Alex Tarter, CTO at Thales Cyber and Consulting INTELLIGENTCIO 41
