AI in Cybersecurity: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly |
Texte |
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing cybersecurity. It offers unparalleled capabilities for detecting, predicting and neutralizing threats in real-time. But at the same time, threat actors are using it to create sophisticated attacks.
At Proofpoint, we take an evidence-based, practical approach to AI. Our Nexus® AI Framework combines advanced machine learning with behavioral analytics for explainable decision-making. As a result, you get actionable insights and protection across multiple threat vectors.
This blog explores the many sides of AI-the good, the bad and the ugly. It also details how the six AI cores in Proofpoint Nexus power our targeted solutions, which stop today\'s most complex security challenges.
Proofpoint Nexus AI: defending from every angle
Proofpoint Nexus is a comprehensive threat intelligence platform powered by AI, machine learning and real-time threat intelligence. The Proofpoint Nexus AI Framework integrates six powerful cores to counter AI-driven threats empowering defenders with advanced tools:
Nexus Language Model (LM) combats business email compromise (BEC). It carefully examines email content to detect common elements found in BEC attempts, such as transactional language and urgency. By recognizing subtle linguistic patterns and behavioral cues, Nexus LM for BEC identifies suspicious emails before they can cause harm.
Nexus Generative AI automates data analysis across email, cloud and endpoints to identify nuanced patterns in phishing and exfiltration attempts. It also automates complex workflows, isolating compromised devices, revoking access and neutralizing phishing campaigns.
Nexus Threat Intelligence (TI) provides real-time updates on attacker tactics, techniques and vulnerabilities, enriching threat detection models. It ensures Proofpoint solutions stay ahead of evolving cyberthreats, offering proactive detection and defense.
Nexus Relationship Graph (RG) monitors user behavior across systems, detecting anomalies that signal insider threats or account compromise. By using behavioral analytics, ML and anomaly detection, Nexus RG spots deviations from normal user actions that may indicate a potential threat.
Nexus Machine Learning (ML) powers predictive threat detection, which maps known attack behaviors and unsupervised techniques that detect unknown anomalies. It uses behavior-focused detection models to identify malicious activity based on runtime behaviors rather than static signatures.
Nexus Computer Vision (CV) is an AI-powered module designed to identify and neutralize vision-based threats. Through advanced computer vision technology, Nexus CV detects threats hidden in visual elements, such as phishing sites, QR codes, malicious attachments and spoofed emails.
Good, bad and ugly-AI is complex in the real world
AI helps cybersecurity teams as well as the cybercriminals who are trying to outsmart them. What follows are just some of the ways that AI can both help and hinder cybersecurity efforts.
The Proofpoint Nexus Framework powers advanced solutions for each of these challenges.
The good: AI as a game-changer for cybersecurity
In many ways, AI makes it easier for defenders to do their jobs. When it comes to combating sophisticated threats, it can be extremely useful because it addresses the challenges that human teams cannot resolve at scale. Here\'s how it can be taken advantage of when you use Proofpoint.
1: Predict threats before they happen. AI enables a proactive defense to cyber threats. That\'s because AI models can predict potential attack vectors by analyzing historical threat patterns and real-time data.
Proofpoint Core Email Protection uses Nexus ML to process billions of data points daily to identify emerging phishing campaigns, malware payloads and zero-day threats. By applying ensemble techniques, Core Email Protection accurately correlates new email-based threats with established patterns. As a result, it helps defenders proactively stop attacks before they infiltrate networks.
