In today’s day and age, cyber attacks can no longer be prevented just by antivirus software or firewalls. Cyber attacks have taken on a heavily intimidating form where it is no longer a question of ‘if’ it will happen but rather ‘when’ it is likely to happen. Cyber security is crucial to a business or an individual because if proper systems are not in place, it could lead to information theft which could affect sensitive data, governmental/industrial information, personal information et al. At an individual level, cyber attacks are typically in the form of identity theft and extortion attempts that can seriously damage an individual’s life.

From an organizational point of view, a security breach can lead to leaked customer data that is likely to end in financial loss, and also loss in brand reputation and customer loyalty. Currently, the implementation of AI and cybersecurity is seeing exponential growth since the last few years. The AI-backed cybersecurity industry is growing at a 48% CGR. However, despite that, only 27% of organizations have adopted AI based cyber security solutions while 73% of organizations are still ambivalent about it, even though every organization by now should have a hybrid mode of manual and AI cyber security systems in place already.
