The Future of Cybersecurity Has Arrived – and the Bad Guys are in the Lead - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The future of cybersecurity has already begun and the bad guys are in the lead. Automation is the first step to a future where attacks are not sporadic but constant. We’re exiting the musket era of cyberthreats and entering the semi-automatic age. The future will be constant carpet bombing. The only way good guys will keep up is by automating themselves and getting AI involved. The far future of cyberwar will be AIs fighting AIs, and humans will only be brought in when the AI needs help to make choices. Bad guys will get alerts when their AI manages to crack into that juicy target the AI was set after. Good guys will get alerted when the bad guy seems to have slipped through and been detected and choices about what assets to lose need to be made. The AIs will be more than the foot soldiers. Humans will be in the commander in chief role, but in the future just about every other role will be some form of AI which can do the millions of calculations per second to counter the constant bombardment with maximum automated efficiency.
