What Role Does Artificial Intelligence Play In Modern Cybersecurity?

Artificial Intelligence’s Role In Modern Cybersecurity

Having the right cybersecurity technology is just a part of doing business in today’s world. In fact, security solutions like firewalls and antivirus software accounted for $23 billion in annual revenue last year – it’s likely that you contributed to that in some small way.

But have you invested in the right antivirus solution?

Today’s threats are evolving…

• The global cybercrime industry will cause up to $6 trillion in damages in just a few years.
• The average phishing attack costs businesses $1.6 million – can you afford to pay that price because one of your staff members can’t recognize a phishing email?
• CEO Fraud has quickly become one of the most popular ways for cybercriminals to make money – not too long ago, a Canadian University paid out more than $11 million due to CEO Fraud.

Are your cybersecurity measures evolving too?

The Need For Next-Generation Cybersecurity

In order to fight rapidly evolving and diverse cybersecurity threats, you need enterprise next-generation endpoint protection that leverages the power of advanced AI engines, automated endpoint protection and rollback capabilities to keep your business safe.

Known as “next-generation cybersecurity”, this advanced type of cybersecurity software uses artificial intelligence to better predict, identify and eliminate harmful malware.

Security based on advanced algorithms that can adapt and learn creates a system that can become familiar with the normal patterns associated with each user and device, detecting anomalies in those patterns quickly.

This new breed of cybersecurity technology is taking the business world by storm:

• 61% of enterprises say they cannot detect breach attempts today without the use of AI technologies.
• 48% say their budgets for AI in cybersecurity will increase by an average of 29% in 2020.

Introducing SentinelOne

Developed to provide holistic defense-in-depth, SentinelOne Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solutions protect systems before, during, and after a malware attack, employing different technologies and methodologies where necessary:

• Passive Protection: SentinelOne uses a static AI engine to monitor systems for signs of malware, eliminating the need for ongoing scans.
• Active Defense: The Behavioral AI engine watches for malicious activity, flagging and eliminating a range of threats, from file-based malware to zero-day exploits.
• After The Attack: Using an Automated Endpoint Detection and Response system, SentinelOne gathers forensic data and takes the necessary steps to prevent damage – network isolation, and endpoint restoration.

Comprehensive Endpoint Protection

SentinelOne EDR will protect you from a range of threats, including:

• Malware: Whether it’s conventional malware such as trojans, ransomware, worms, backdoors, or memory-only, SentinelOne will keep it off your systems.
• Exploits: Cybercriminals can hide exploits in Office documents, Adobe files, automated macros, and spear-phishing emails, as well as penetrate your systems while you browse the web. SentinelOne keeps you safe from both.
• Live/Insider: You also have to protect yourself from insider and active threats – Powershell, WMI, PowerSploit, VBS, Mimikatz… the list goes on and on. SentinelOne actively detects and eliminates these threats before they cause any damage.

One of the more threatening aspects of cybercrime is that criminals can adapt their methods to ensure effectivity. Most hackers change up their attack method for each target, which limits the effectiveness of defenses based on known files and attacks. This means that businesses whose security focuses on signatures and perimeter defenses need to reevaluate their approach to cybersecurity.

This is where SentinelOne comes in. Security based on advanced algorithms that can adapt and learn creates a system that can become familiar with the normal patterns associated with each user and device, detecting anomalies in those patterns quickly.

Threats that would normally be able to hide their presence are instead found and neutralized, buying IT personnel time to get ahead of the situation. Like a digital antibody, the program can slow down or even stop compromised connections or devices within a network.

Defend Your Data With SentinelOne Endpoint Detection & Response

Standard, free trial, consumer-grade cybersecurity solutions won’t cut it anymore. Not when it comes up against the types of malware that cybercriminals are using today. If you want to stay safe, you need to invest in something more advanced – something like SentinelOne.

Centerpoint IT is proud to offer SentinelOne Endpoint Detection & Response to current and new clients in whatever way that best suits their needs. This powerful Atlanta network security service is available both as an add-on to our ITessentials managed services plan, or as a stand-alone service for non-managed clients.
