AUGUST 20248 IN MY V EWREVOLUTIONIZING CYBERSECURITY IN THE CLOUD: HARNESSING AI FOR UNPRECEDENTED PROTECTIONAs we stand on the precipice of a new digital era, the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technology has emerged as a powerful ally in the battle against cyber threats. The landscape of cybersecurity has evolved significantly over the years, and the convergence of AI and cloud computing is proving to be a game-changer.According to a report by Gartner, the global cloud computing market is expected to grow to about 22% to total $600 billion in 2023, up from $491 billion in 2022.In the current landscape, organizations perceive the cloud as an immensely strategic foundation for driving digital transformation. This, in turn, compels cloud providers to furnish increasingly advanced capabilities as the race for digital services intensifies.The Cybersecurity Landscape: A Constantly Shifting BattlefieldIn today's super-connected world, where data is zipping around across borders and devices, the cloud has become like the MVP of modern business operations. But, along with all these cool advancements, there's a new set of challenges ­ especially when it comes to guarding sensitive info from those always-changing cyber threats.Regular old security measures, while doing their thing to some extent, just can't match the crazy smarts and scale of today's high-tech attacks.The AI Advantage: From Reactive to Proactive DefenseArtificial Intelligence, powered by those fancy machine learning and deep learning tricks, is like a game-changer for how we tackle cybersecurity. So, forget about the old-school ways that just follow set rules and patterns.AI is like a cybersecurity sidekick that learns from tons of data and spots weird stuff that might mean trouble ahead. It's like having a sixth sense for attacks that are super sneaky and hard to predict.BY TS. LIP KAR LOCK, VICE PRESIDENT, HEAD OF DIGITAL & DATA MANAGEMENT, AIR SELANGOR
