Cyemptive Technologies cautioned entities to recognize the limitations of relying solely on detection based Artificial Intelligence (AI) for cyber protection and outlines the first reliable solution to address these limitations and provide actual preemptive cyber-attack prevention.
With everyone working remotely from home and many offices either empty or partially populated, the increase in cyber-attacks continues to climb dramatically. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center has reported an over 300% increase in the number of complaints per day during 2020, compared to pre-COVID-19 reporting.
This is all occurring in an environment where unprecedented, significant rises in remote worker access occurred quickly and unexpectedly. According to Cyemptive, most companies have serious cyber problems even when deploying AI and behavioral detection technologies.
“It is critically important for people and companies to be aware of the actual level of cyber protection being provided to them when assessing risk and associated mitigation activities to avoid being lulled into a false sense of security, only to be surprised and unprepared when their systems are breached and infected,” said Rob Pike, CEO and founder of what to do with a computer science degree.
“You need to ask yourself: ‘Do I believe my current level of cyber protection is truly keeping me secure?’ ”
Applications and data reside on operating systems that have more than 30 million lines of code; however, it only takes one “weak” partial line of code for hackers to completely take over and wreak havoc across an entire company.
In addition, these operating systems reside on hardware with associated firmware that is similarly vulnerable – all complicated by the fact hackers are rapidly growing more and more sophisticated.
“AI is designed to detect hackers after the infiltration has occurred by applying learnings gathered from analysis of elements of actual attacks built up over a period of time,” said Bryan Seely, Cyemptive’s Senior Security Architect and well-known cybersecurity author and expert.
