Let\u2019s look at some of the ways AI can assist your organization in warding off cyber criminals.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AI Can Improve Compliance<\/h3>\n<p>How compliant is your organization with all the data protection and privacy regulations? It can be incredibly hard to keep up, understand and check whether your systems are up-to-date on the latest compliance regulations.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2014no need to worry! AI has taken over the nitty-gritty of it all. It\u2019s expected that by 2023, over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2020-02-25-gartner-says-over-40-percent-of-privacy-compliance-technology-will-rely-on-artificial-intelligence-in-the-next-three-years\">40% of privacy compliance technology will rely on AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of legislation can you hold up with the use of AI? Two big names are the GDPR and CPRA. AI can help you identify blind spots in your data protection efforts and warn you when you\u2019re not living up to the standards governments put in place.<\/p>\n<p>One tool that does this is SECURITI.ai. With AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability you get a clearer view of your data processing activities and can make sure you\u2019re compliant.<\/p>\n<p>An alternative AI solution is Claudette, a web crawler that assesses the privacy policies using supervised machine learning technologies. After it\u2019s done scanning and collecting information, it checks if the data is used in a way that\u2019s GDPR proof. It shows you issues such as incomplete information, unclear language, or problematic data processing tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can\u2019t solely rely on AI to do all the work when it comes to privacy and data protection. You and your employees also need to understand and handle data in ways that are compliant with the rules set in place.<\/p>\n<p>Start with understanding what the GDPR and CPRA are all about. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osano.com\/articles\/what-is-california-privacy-rights-act\">Osano\u2019s guide to CPRA<\/a> is a great place to start to learn what the CPRA, which will replace the CPPA on January 1, 2023, is all about. Educate yourself on the rules of data protection, and it will be even easier to select an AI tool that will help you protect your valuable data.<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AI as an ally against cyberattacks<\/h3>\n<p>With the combination of big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning, you have a great recipe for tracking down the patterns that indicate a cyberattack is happening. Why is that helpful?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about identifying patterns. When AI and ML work together, they can map out what happened during previous attacks. Together, they can identify the actions hackers have taken before and find weak spots in your security system, so you can fill those gaps and be extra alert.<\/p>\n<p>AI can assist in quickly alerting the right people and systems that there\u2019s a threat. This can even kick off a series of extra measures to be taken, so the cyberattack can be beaten back.<\/p>\n<p>AI can also make sure malicious websites and unauthorized data transactions are automatically blocked before any harm can be done.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AI can protect against phishing attempts<\/h3>\n<p>\u200b\u200bSometimes its employees who unknowingly are letting the cyber criminals in. Many people roll their eyes when they hear about yet another phishing attempt\u2014shouldn\u2019t we all know better by now not to click on certain links? \u2014 but cyber criminals are creating increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks. Even the most tech-savvy and internet-native people are able to fall for it.<\/p>\n<p>Because phishing is all about what\u2019s happening in the details, or in the background of a message\u2014something the untrained human eye won\u2019t immediately see.<\/p>\n<p>Ai does see it, however. With technologies like Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, it can automatically spot if a phishing attack is at play, and warn users.<\/p>\n<p>There are even AI and ML tools on the market that are able to analyze the context of a message and the relationship between the sender and receiver, for even greater accuracy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5976\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5976\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5976\" src=\"https:\/\/data-science-blog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/server-cupboard-gitter.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1043\" height=\"553\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5976\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/M5tzZtFCOfs\">source unsplash.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why AI is so valuable in the fight against cybercrime<\/h2>\n<p>But why AI? Can we really rely on yet another robotic system to keep a digital framework safe? Isn\u2019t it safe to have it handled by humans? We\u2019ll expand on the three main benefits AI offers in the data protection game.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AI can handle more and more complex data than humans<\/h3>\n<p>With all the data that is being processed and stored nowadays, there are barely enough people on the planet to keep an eye on every sensitive piece of information.<\/p>\n<p>Good data protection is extremely time-consuming, because it\u2019s constant. Checking servers manually is virtually impossible.<\/p>\n<p>AI can work automatically and 24\/7, no matter how much data there is to handle. On top of that, AI can be put in place to handle the more complex data structures, which can be hard to analyze and protect for humans. All while keeping costs low.<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AI can quickly classify data and keep it organized<\/h3>\n<p>Before you can even start protecting data, you will need to put it in place\u2014efficiently. With the large volumes of data that organizations deal with, AI comes in handy. AI can quickly classify and manage data to keep it organized.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No humans needed to keep sensitive data secure<\/h3>\n<p>AI can work independently from humans, which means nobody necessarily needs to have direct access to the sensitive data you\u2019re trying to predict. Not only does that decrease the changes of human error, but it also builds an extra layer of trust.<\/p>\n<h2>Ready to call in the help of AI for your data protection?<\/h2>\n<p>Start by looking at the legislations that are important for your organization, and build on the needs you have for your specific business.
