STUDY FINDS THAT GENERATIVE AI IS A MAIN POINT OF CONTENTION BETWEEN IT SECURITY TEAMS AND THE C-SUITE
The latest study has found that, although 46% of respondents state that they are proactively looking at how to incorporate the technology in their cybersecurity approaches, 44% also believe that the sensitive nature of the data involved – along with engrained enterprise silos – will in fact make it difficult to use GenAI. Of the approximately one-third of responding organisations not currently using GenAI technology for threat detection and response, 37% cite C-suite concerns as the reason.
Corelight found European ITDMs (IT Decision Makers) were split down the middle in their perception of GenAI use for cybersecurity and exactly half (50%) of the responding ITDMs believed GenAI will have the biggest impact on providing alert context and analysis. They also cite the following potential use cases:
Alongside some clear concerns and question marks about the practical use and implementation of GenAI in a security environment, 68% of respondents with dedicated threat hunters say it's already helping their threat detection and protection efforts. And a further 28% plan to incorporate these capabilities into more use cases in the future.
Despite the legitimate concerns of many European ITDMs, many have a positive view of the future. More than 40% of respondents claim AI and automation are central to creating "the perfect security formula".
Corelight helps customers mitigate data protection concerns by establishing a functional firewall so that customer-specific data cannot interact with the GenAI model. Pre-vetted GenAI prompts are used to contextualise alerts and provide analysts with investigative recommendations.
Corelight transforms network and cloud activity into evidence that security teams use to proactively hunt for threats, accelerate response to incidents, gain complete network visibility and create powerful analytics. Corelight's global customers include Fortune 500 companies, major government agencies, and large research universities. Based in
