Today, many seasoned security professionals will tell you they’ve been fighting a constant battle against cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers. They will also tell you that any clear-eyed assessment shows that most of the patches, preventative measures and public awareness campaigns can only succeed at mitigating yesterday’s threats — not the threats waiting in the wings.That could be changing. As the world focuses on the potential of AI — and governments and industry work on a regulatory approach to ensure AI is safe and secure — we believe that AI represents an inflection point for digital security. We’re not alone. More than 40% of people view better security as a top application for AI — and it’s a topic that will be front and center at the Munich Security Conference this weekend.AI is at a definitive crossroads — one where policymakers, security professionals and civil society have the chance to finally tilt the cybersecurity balance from attackers to cyber defenders. At a moment when malicious actors are experimenting with AI, we need bold and timely action to shape the direction of this technology. To support this work, today we’re launching a new AI Cyber Defense Initiative, including a proposed policy and technology agenda contained in our new report: Secure, Empower, Advance: How AI Can Reverse the Defender’s Dilemma.How to tilt the cybersecurity balance from attackers to defendersToday, and for decades, the main challenge in cybersecurity has been that attackers need just one successful, novel threat to break through the best defenses. Defenders, meanwhile, need to deploy the best defenses at all times, across increasingly complex digital terrain — and there’s no margin for error. This is the “Defender's Dilemma,” and there’s never been a reliable way to tip that balance.Our experience deploying AI at scale informs our belief that AI can actually reverse this dynamic. AI allows security professionals and defenders to scale their work in threat detection, malware analysis, vulnerability detection, vulnerability fixing and incident response.
