Artificial intelligence is considered by 63% of IT and security professionals to be beneficial to the security of their organization, ZDNET reports.
In addition to 55% of companies worldwide planning to leverage AI to improve cybersecurity this year, 21% are also expected to use the technology to develop security policies, according to a report from Google Cloud and the Cloud Security Alliance. Thirty-four percent of respondents noted that AI would be most beneficial to cybersecurity professionals, compared to 25% of those who thought malicious actors would primarily benefit from the technology. Meanwhile, 58% said AI would result in improved skills and increased support in their roles.
“These findings highlight that while AI will bring significant changes to security teams, it is primarily seen as a complementary tool rather than a complete replacement. by becoming overly dependent,” the researchers said.
