AI and Cybersecurity: Some observational implications of the intersection between the two
There is a possibility that artificial intelligence (AI) will have a significant influence, in either a good or bad direction, on cybersecurity. On the plus side, artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to automate and improve many parts of cybersecurity. AI can find and stop threats, find strange behavior, and look at network traffic, among other things. This might be a game-changer for the industry.

Attackers with access to a repository will scan it inside out for secrets, turning every occurrence into a risk you cannot ignore. Still, this does not mean that you should treat all incidents equally!
How do you perform quarterly access reviews?
