The AI Arms Race Is Here: How Enterprises Must Weaponize

Data and Autonomous Defense to Survive the Next

Generation of Cyberattacks

By Nic Adams, Co-Founder & CEO, 0rcus

Enterprise security faces a watershed as AI tools mature from passive analytics to autonomous
operatives in both offense and defense. To date, traditional firewalls, intrusion detection, signature
databases, and manual and/or automated incident response cannot withstand malicious adversaries who
brandish self-learning exploit frameworks. Only forward-looking organizations profitably deploying AI at
scale, coupled with resilient data architectures and instantaneous behavioral analytics, can achieve
determinably lasting security. Key administrators, decision-makers, policy-makers, and powerbrokers
must inherently progress beyond experimentation; needing precise methodologies. All of which
adequately interlink machine learning, powerful data pipelines, and up-to-the-minute security techniques
in order to stay ahead of relentless, persistent threats.
