IT security & AI-based tools
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

While AI offers new opportunities for efficiency, creativity and personalization of phishing lures, it is important to remember that IT security is poorly adapted to such attacks. It's a good opportunity to update the training programs to educate employees on the new technologies and trends in phishing/smishing/vishing tactics and encourage them to be more vigilant. We may see an increase in highly individual and persuasive baits on a large scale. It is now much easier and faster for cybercriminals to hire an AI to compose a message that will send a…

Network traffic: Analysis by AI and security experts
Network traffic: Analysis by AI and security experts

There are two types of cyberattacks: Automated opportunistic attempts to penetrate a network and targeted Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks. The former are in the majority and artificial intelligence (AI) can automatically block most of them. But behind an APT there are often people. Defending against such network-level attacks requires both AI and security experts. The hackers show up first through the traces of their malware in the network. However, these anomalous traffic patterns are easily lost in the mass of information. Left to their own devices, the human IT manager is overwhelmed when...

Managed Service Providers as Trojan Horses
Managed Service Providers as Trojan Horses

Warnings to managed service providers to keep their IT protection up to date and to introduce new security guidelines are piling up. More recently, government regulators, including those in the UK and US, have reported an increase in malicious cyber activity explicitly targeting managed service providers. This is a development that will continue. A comment from Kay-Uwe-Wirtz, Regional Account Director Barracuda MSP. The reason for this is obvious, given that MSPs have direct access to their customers' networks and applications. Criminals who have successfully compromised an MSP using their infrastructure as a starting point are in the…

The role of AI and ML in cybersecurity
The role of AI and ML in cybersecurity

The constantly increasing number of successful cyber attacks demonstrates how often attackers achieve their goals despite modern prevention solutions. As a result, the focus is increasingly on technologies that serve to quickly discover ongoing attacks - NDR (Network Detection & Response). Artificial intelligence - AI - and machine learning - ML-based systems play a major role here. However, since these terms are often mixed up and for many companies the topic of "AI & ML" is still a closed book, Andreas Riepen, Head of Central and Eastern Europe at Vectra AI, raises three fundamental questions...
