for changes in behavioural patterns to see if users might have been compromised .
If AI detects suspicious activity , it can alert the Security Operation Centre and it can initiate automated recovery processes to take immediate action to isolate backups with malware , ultimately minimising the impact of a successful attack .
Generative AI-focused data compliance regulations will be formed
For all its potential use cases , AI can pose huge risks to businesses due to its security vulnerabilities . Organisations who fail to put proper guardrails in place to stop employees from potentially breaching existing privacy regulations through the inappropriate use of generative AI tools are likely to face significant consequences .
Over the past 12 months , research revealed that 43 % of organisations in the
UAE have been penalised for compliance breaches , with an average fine of $ 178,000 . Many regulatory bodies are currently focused on how existing data privacy laws apply to generative AI . However , as the technology continues to evolve , legislation created specifically for generative AI will be created
In 2024 , we expect hackers to turn to targeted cell-level data corruption attacks , with code secretly implanted deep within a victim ’ s database . in 2024 , that will apply rules directly to these tools and the data used to train them .
The year ahead will be pivotal time for organisations . Advances in AI technologies will open doors that were previously considered unimaginable ; at the same time , they will enable the cyber threat landscape to evolve into new realms . Those who embrace emerging technologies to drive innovation and strengthen their security posture whilst building policies and guardrails for compliant usage , are the ones who will flourish in 2024 . •
