The direction of information security control analysis using artificial intelligence

Abstract

The areas where artificial intelligence (AI) is employed are gradually increasing. The latest malicious codes are continually being found in the security control area and the security teams in various organizations are investigating an average of 200,000 security incidents a day and often wasting much of their time in tracking wrong targets or attacking methods. It is expected that the security-related incidents will be increased more than twice in near future. Thus, the security control staff will be able to prevent security breaches only by rapidly analyzing the latest vulnerabilities and logs in their systems or security equipment. In this study, we have studied the possibility of utilizing current AIs used for diagnosis of cancers, translations or simple conversations, along with the future direction of AI for security control. The study also attempts to find an effective method of reducing damages by rapidly analyzing attack methods and vulnerabilities, hoping the method will be effective in protecting the systems from a new variety of attacks. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2018.
