AI-powered Cybersecurity

In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) pushes the boundaries of innovation, leadingcompanies such as Cisco, Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet recognize the importance ofresponsible use of this technology. NTS is working with its vendor partners to strengthencybersecurity worldwide.

CISCO

Cisco recognizes the value of artificial intelligence (AI) and the need for responsible use of this technology to prevent potential harm. For this reason, Cisco has developed a Responsible AI framework based on six principles: Transparency, Fairness, Accountability, Privacy, Security, and Reliability.

Cisco AI Assistant for Security

  • AI assistant for firewall policy: The cloud-delivered Firewall Management Centerand Cisco Defense Orchestrator help administrators identify and locate policiesusing natural language, as well as get rule recommendations. The goal is toeliminate duplicate rules, misconfigured policies, and complex workflows.
  • AI-powered encrypted visibility engine for all firewall models: The majority of trafficin today’s data centres is encrypted. Decrypting data for inspection is resource-intensive and can also raise privacy and compliance issues. The AI-poweredEncrypted Visibility Engine uses billions of samples, including sandboxed malwaresamples, to determine if encrypted traffic is carrying malware.
  • AI wizard for secure access: Leverages the power of generative AI to create naturallanguage secure access policies for Cisco’s Secure Services Edge (SSE) solution.Security for AI

Security for AI

  • Security for AI: New Secure Access capabilities automatically detect and protectintellectual property as it travels to and from AI systems.

AI–based email threat detection

  • AI–based Email Threat Detection: Cisco Email Threat Defense uses AI to simultaneously evaluate different parts of an incoming email for signs of a security threat.

Cisco is preparing a variety of other AI-powered applications and services that will changethe way businesses operate. With their commitment to innovation and technology, theyare on their way to creating game-changing solutions that have the potential to transformindustries and create new opportunities.

PALO ALTO NETWORKS

Palo Alto’s integration of AI to enhance the automation of security operations helps detect,prioritise and prevent anomalies and risks early, improving organisational responsivenessand strengthening security posture.Close collaboration between security experts and data scientists, coupled with a high levelof transparency, ensures the effective and trusted use of AI in the fight against cyberthreats. This promotes the integration of AI in both anomaly detection and riskprioritisation.

Anomaly Detection

Palo Alto Networks uses AI in its Cortex suite of products. Supervised learning, wheremodels are validated by security experts and data scientists, ensures effectiveness inanomaly detection.

Risk prioritisation with AI

Palo Alto Networks’ AI-driven risk prioritisation model enables security analysts toefficiently prioritise critical incidents by prioritising potentially dangerous events andoptimising the investigation process.

Key Features

  • Palo Alto Networks offers a fully integrated network security platform with three keycapabilities
  • Inline AI-powered security: Designed to stop zero-day malware in real-time with acomprehensive suite of inline AI-powered security, protecting your credentials andsensitive data from advanced phishing attacks, exploits and DNS threats.
  • Zero Trust Management and Operations: Predict and prevent operationaldisruptions with real-time monitoring. Provisioning status proactively predictscapacity bottlenecks.• ML-powered NGFWs for every use case to deliver best-in-class protection withindustry-leading NGFWs powered by machine learning.

FORTINET

Fortinet is another partner that stands out for its innovative AI-powered cybersecuritysolutions. With a strong focus on protecting digital infrastructure, Fortinet uses advancedtechnologies to protect organizations from the ever-growing threats of the cyber world.

Fortinet’s pioneering deep learning solution, FortiAI, is specifically designed to bypass thetime-consuming manual analysis of cyber-attacks. It enables companies to reduce response times toadvanced threats by identifying, classifying and instantly blocking attack vectors in real-time, before they reach the corporate network.

Leveraging data from FortiGuard Labs, FortiAI can detect millions of threats and effectivelyprotect organizations against them.

Our partners Cisco, Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet are driving the development of AI-based services and the secure use of AI. Through continuous research and innovation, theyare setting the standard for integrating and protecting AI technologies in their securitysolutions.These efforts not only promise improved efficiency and accuracy in threat detection, butalso faster response to complex cyberattacks and the safe use of AI applications.
