Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are bringing machine learning technologies into cybersecurity. Deep learning algorithms are being utilized for face detection, threat detection, natural language processing, and many more concepts.

Fremont, CA: 2020 is witnessing a shocking increase in cyberattacks, forcing governments and corporations to review their cybersecurity measures. While companies have become aware of the importance of cybersecurity, many are still struggling to define and implement the required appropriate security measures.

Let us look at the dominant trends in cybersecurity:

With the bandwidth that 5G technology provides, connected devices, data volumes and sensors are ready to explode. Electronic health applications now can collect data about a user’s wellbeing, new car technology can monitor a user’s movements, and smart applications can gather information about how users live and work. With so many personal data being collected from people, 5G technology will help achieve high levels of security against breaches and data theft will be required.

AI to Gain More Popularity

Most cybersecurity solutions are being built on detection engines that are based on human logic. Nevertheless, keeping them updated about the latest threats, technologies, and devices can be nearly impossible to do manually. Artificial intelligence (AI) speeds up the identification of new threats and responses to them and can help to prevent cyberattacks before they spread throughout organizations.

Cybersecurity Skills Gaps

In 2020, the supply of cybersecurity professionals fails to meet demand, as security teams have to deal with more online threats than ever before. Surveys show that more than two-thirds of respondents admitted that ensuring their skills and the skills of their team were up to date was a big challenge.
