Why adoption of AI may be critical for businesses to tackle cyber threats and more

Data security concerns are proving to be a substantial impediment to the widespread deployment of AI. Consequently, companies are unsurprisingly leveraging AI itself to tackle these apprehensions. As businesses in various sectors increasingly adopt AI to enhance processes and ensure more precise decision-making, the utilisation of AI-powered security technologies becomes crucial. These technologies can rapidly identify threats through the analysis of extensive datasets.

“Anomaly detection is a technique used by AI-driven security solutions to identify out-of-the-ordinary application behaviuor patterns that can point to vulnerabilities or breaches. Further strengthening data security, AI also aids in fraud detection, data encryption, and access management,” said Nalin Agrawal, director, solutions engineering at Dynatrace, a unified observability and security platform that empowers businesses to automate operations, enhance software delivery, improve security, and optimise user experiences.

Numerous companies, including Dynatrace, are actively addressing the imperative of providing real-time insights and continuous runtime application security. They leverage advanced AI and automation capabilities to assist organisations in optimising their IT operations, improving software delivery, enhancing security measures, and ultimately achieving superior business outcomes.

The intelligent automation market in India is being propelled by key factors such as the swift adoption of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and Automated Workflow Management (AWM). Various sectors in India, including banking and finance, e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing, and IT services, are witnessing substantial investments in intelligent automation solutions.

The Indian government is also fostering the adoption of automation technologies, pushing initiatives like “Make in India” and “Digital India.” These efforts contribute significantly to the market’s expansion. As organisations increasingly prioritise operational efficiency and competitiveness, there is an optimistic outlook for the intelligent automation market in the years to come.

“Businesses across all industries are progressively starting to use AI to streamline their processes for better and more accurate decision making. AI-powered security technologies can swiftly discover dangers by analysing a large amount of data,” said Agrawal.
