The Impact of Automation in Cybersecurity

Malicious attacks aren’t just becoming more frequent—they’re becoming smarter, more costly, and more of a threat to businesses of all sizes.

The average cost of a data breach for U.S. companies last year was $8.2 million, up from $3.5 million in 2006, according to a Ponemon Institute study sponsored by IBM. As technology solutions evolve, bringing more automation and innovation, the risks are only getting greater.

“Data breaches are one of those ugly things that no one wants to talk about, yet they are a harsh reality that we all have to deal with and a new normal in cybersecurity,” said Corey McReynolds, managing consultant of professional services at Avertium, during the ChannelCon Online session, The Impact of Automation in Cybersecurity: The Good, the Bad and the Human.

Increasingly, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are having a big impact on the automation of cybersecurity, especially around behavioral analysis, which is helping businesses build better defenses against cyber threats, McReynolds said.
