‘Inflection Point’ with Cybersecurity and AI

Jeetu Patel, Cisco‘s executive vice president and general manager of security and collaboration, said the cybersecurity industry is at an “inflection point” with cybersecurity and AI.

The model, the data and the experience must come together to make AI an improvement on insights, he said.

“What if we could have a 10-times better experience for the security operations center (SOC) analyst?” Patel said. “AI could be an aid so SOC analysts can do their job more efficiently. What if they could get recommendations on the right things to do?”

Patel then showed a video prepared by Cisco in which a SOC analyst can rely on an AI assistant to help them in every step of their jobs.

“When you use AI to augment humans in the job, amazing things can happen,” he said. “The experience is going to become much more natural. We’re thrilled about what this can do and it’s not that far away.”
