FEATURE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
How AI-based
machine learning
will affect IT security
As the need for AI expands
within the workplace, it is
essential that we understand
how to utilise it correctly for
it to prove beneficial. We hear
from Rabih Itani, Regional
Business Development
Manager – Security, Middle
East and Turkey at Aruba,
who lets us in on how AI and
machine learning can be used
to combat security implications
discovered on networks.

A
rtificial intelligence has been a hot topic of discussion in
many industries for a while now, with healthcare, retail and
hospitality, to name but a few, starting to speculate on the
massive opportunities its development could bring to how their business
is run and how customers interact with those businesses. Many articles
are already predicting the demise of human workers as a result of
AI making inroads into our lives because we are on the verge of true
artificial intelligence. But when it comes to the biggest challenges facing
business, these technologies are yet to have their big breakthrough.
This may all change as we progress into this information age and for
me, the first proof point will be IT security. Having grown into one of our
biggest international threats of 2018, with attacks spanning the globe
and affecting every country including Middle East ones, a new defence is
being developed that will allow companies to tackle the latest threats as
soon as they appear on the network.
This new defence is based on machine learning, a key component of a
security framework that can move as quickly as those who are looking
