“ Many organisations struggle to fund this . Without this ability to bring together data , AI tools can deliver incorrect results and / or false positives and getting inaccurate data from unreliable sources can even backfire .” Adding to this drawback , cyber security management defences are often fragmented across multiple different vendors . Tyley explained that with this , only some of them talk to each other : “ This makes it even more difficult for those tasked with protecting the organisation in preventing the snowballing scale of sophisticated cybercrime . In this landscape , protective systems need to be able to monitor and automate response at scale .”
He concluded that ML capabilities are the key to overcoming challenges with automated technology and cyber risk : “ ML can form a substantial part of the solution – we have seen in recent years multiple technologies that are able to capture patterns of behaviour , then , through the use of algorithms , run scenarios with the data to detect unusual patterns of activity .”
