Transforming security management with GenAI-powered assistants

THE EVOLVING THREAT LANDSCAPE

Today’s threat landscape is dynamic, complex, and marked by a dramatic increase in frequency and severity of attacks. According to Check Point Research, global cyberattacks have surged by 75%, with ransomware incidents alone increasing by 90%.
The sophistication of cyber criminals is growing. Threat actors are increasingly using AI, machine learning, and other advanced technologies to bypass traditional security defenses.
The attack surface is expanding. The shift to hybrid work combined with the proliferation of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and cloud services has created more entry points that cyber criminals can exploit.
There is a shortage of security skills. With only 85 security experts available for every 100 open positions, organizations are struggling to fill critical roles and maintain adequate security defenses.
This combination of forces has made protecting the organization more daunting than ever. What today’s cyber security organizations need is a new way to augment the skills of human experts with technology to get their jobs done faster and more efficiently.
The top challenge in pursuing cyber security initiatives is now cyber security skill gaps.

THE EMERGENCE OF GENAI-POWERED ASSISTANTS

“In essence, GenAI is not just an evolution of existing AI technologies but a transformative force that introduces new dynamics into the cyber security landscape.” - IDC
Generative AI (GenAI) is reinventing how we work – from enabling developers to debug code faster and finance to ensure audit accuracy, to scaling content creation for marketers.
It is redefining roles and even whole industries. Its impact on cyber security is already evident, with GenAI-powered assistants introducing the new paradigm required for tackling the growing wave of security threats.
79% of organizations are realizing very significant or significant value from GenAI.
94% of organizations agree or strongly agree that they expect GenAI to help accelerate the software development cycle.
