During his participation as a moderator in a recent seminar hosted by NGN, Mr. Alaa AlBahrani, Cyber Security Expert, emphasized the significant contributions of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing early warning capabilities and rapid response to cyber threats faced by companies and institutions.
Mr. AlBahrani highlighted that AI-powered systems have the ability to analyze user behavior, detect abnormal patterns, and proactively respond to potential attacks, thereby preventing damage before it occurs.
The seminar, titled “Cybersecurity in the Era of AI,” was organized by NGN, a leading Bahraini IT Systems Integrations and Managed Cyber Security Company, as part of NGN’s awareness Majlis aimed at boosting knowledge about cybersecurity. The event brought together a group of experts in information security, data, and cybersecurity.
“Within the field of AI-driven data analysis and cybersecurity, we’re witnessing significant progress that profoundly influences analytical capabilities and cyber protection. By harnessing the power of AI, cybersecurity solutions can adeptly identify emerging and unknown threats, along with recognizing threats that have previously infiltrated the network.” Mr. Alaa AlBahrani said.
“In light of hackers’ persistent efforts to devise undetectable methods and catch organizations off guard, these AI applications have the potential to eliminate or substantially reduce the consequences of advanced hacking techniques that are yet to be classified.”
Mr. Alaa AlBahrani further highlighted the potential of AI and cybersecurity integration to increase the productivity of human capital within organizations. By leveraging AI-powered cybersecurity applications to perform security diagnostics, IT security personnel can focus on reviewing threats diagnosed by the application, thereby allowing companies to manage the time and efforts of IT staff more effectively and efficiently in safeguarding the organization’s digital resources.
As a result, productivity is increased, and the overall effectiveness of the cybersecurity system is enhanced. Furthermore, this integration of advanced technology with human expertise can yield greater efficiency in mitigating the risks of cyber threats, allowing organizations to maintain a secure and resilient network infrastructure.
