Artificial intelligence applied<\/span> to information security can engender images of a benevolent Skynet, sagely analyzing more data than imaginable and making decisions at lightspeed, saving organizations from devastating attacks. In such a world, humans are barely needed to run security programs, their jobs largely automated out of existence, relegating them to a role as the button-pusher on particularly critical changes proposed by the otherwise omnipotent AI.<\/p>\n

Such a vision is still in the realm of science fiction. AI in information security is more like an eager, callow puppy attempting to learn new tricks \u2013 minus the disappointment written on their faces when they consistently fail. No one\u2019s job is in danger of being replaced by security AI; if anything, a larger staff is required to ensure security AI stays firmly leashed.<\/p>\n

Arguably, AI\u2019s highest use case currently is to add futuristic sheen to traditional security tools, rebranding timeworn approaches as trailblazing sorcery that will revolutionize enterprise cybersecurity as we know it. The current hype cycle for AI appears to be the roaring, ferocious crest at the end of a decade that began with bubbly excitement around the promise of \u201cbig data\u201d in information security.<\/p>\n

But what lies beneath the marketing gloss and quixotic lust for an AI revolution in security? How did AL ascend to supplant the lustrous zest around machine learning (\u201cML\u201d) that dominated headlines in recent years? Where is there true potential to enrich information security strategy for the better \u2013 and where is it simply an entrancing distraction from more useful goals? And, naturally, how will attackers plot to circumvent security AI to continue their nefarious schemes?<\/p>\n

How did AI grow out of this stony rubbish?<\/h2>\n

The year AI debuted as the \u201cIt Girl\u201d in information security was 2017. The year prior, MIT completed their study<\/a> showing \u201chuman-in-the-loop\u201d AI out-performed AI and humans individually in attack detection. Likewise, DARPA conducted the Cyber Grand Challenge<\/a>, a battle testing AI systems\u2019 offensive and defensive capabilities. Until this point, security AI was imprisoned in the contrived halls of academia and government. Yet, the history of two vendors exhibits how enthusiasm surrounding security AI was driven more by growth marketing than user needs.<\/p>\n
