As digitization is widely embraced, enterprises face an ever-changing threat, with frequent and highly sophisticated cyberattacks, WIZ said. With these dangers in the evolution of threats, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions have helped increasingly protect enterprises’ networks and data, the company said. Therefore, providing real-time threat detection capabilities to predictive analytics has become an integral part of the security architecture in the contemporary information security landscape, it said. Although AI can significantly boost security, enterprises need insight for consistent cyber protection, it added. Here are five AI security efforts WIZ believes an organization should consider.
1. Implement Multi-Layered Security
A single security is no longer sufficient to keep cyber threats at bay. Advanced security could be built by a multi-layered security approach: firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and AI-driven threat intelligence. AI systems can process large volumes of data in real time to find patterns that indicate a potential security breach even before it happens.

AI can also be applied in every phase of the security function, including endpoint protection, network security, and cloud-based services. This layering of defenses is done to avoid single points of failure; one layer that fails or is breached will not defeat other layers continuing to protect an organization.
2. Use AI-Driven Security Solutions
AI-powered security solutions help provide real-time monitoring, predictive threat analysis, and automated responses. Through machine learning, enterprises can identify deviations in system behavior and flag vulnerabilities well in advance.
While reaping the benefit of AI, adhere to best practices that will negate all the risks associated with the move. A good strategy concerning ChatGPT security will also ensure brand image protection and reduce safety risks. This will result in better customer satisfaction and compliance levels.
3. Conduct Regular Security Audits
AI can automate auditing processes by automatically scanning networks, systems, and databases to identify any form of vulnerability through compliance with security protocols. Automated audits reduce the margin of human error and result in a more consistent, thorough review of security practices.
AI in security audits helps an organization stay updated with ever-evolving threats. It’s always critical to go over and readjust security policies while showing much scope for addressing gaps that the cybercriminal might seek to exploit.
4. Monitor AI Systems for Bias and Security Flaws
Biases in AI algorithms create security vulnerabilities, leading to misidentification or missed threats. Regularly monitoring the AI systems for bias ensures they function as intended without disproportionately targeting certain behaviors or missing critical threats.
Like any other software, AI models are susceptible to attack. Threats such as adversarial attacks, where hackers manipulate input data to fool the AI, will compromise your security. Sound monitoring helps identify these issues early, inspiring the best corrective measures.
5. Educate and Train Staff on AI Security Protocols
No AI system can ever be utilized effectively without the proper involvement of human administration. Training employees on how to interface with a system enabled with AI and following best practices ensures that they will be fully capable of using such tools securely.
It also allows the staff to be aware of some security threats with AI, such as deepfakes or phishing attacks using AI. Awareness and further education through organizations can provide a culture of security that will support getting the most value from AI while reducing potential vulnerabilities to a minimum.

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized businesses to become more efficient. With that come the security issues that must be addressed to ensure maximum gains are experienced. Monitoring the system and making your staff understand generally accepted AI security protocols will help your organization stay safe.
‘SWASTICAR’: Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s close association with Donald Trump has prompted opponents to brand him a ‘Nazi’ and resulted in a dramatic drop in sales Demonstrators descended on Tesla Inc dealerships across the US, and in Europe and Canada on Saturday to protest company chief Elon Musk, who has amassed extraordinary power as a top adviser to US President Donald Trump. Waving signs with messages such as “Musk is stealing our money” and “Reclaim our country,” the protests largely took place peacefully following fiery episodes of vandalism on Tesla vehicles, dealerships and other facilities in recent weeks that US officials have denounced as terrorism. Hundreds rallied on Saturday outside the Tesla dealership in Manhattan. Some blasted Musk, the world’s richest man, while others demanded the shuttering of his
TIGHT-LIPPED: UMC said it had no merger plans at the moment, after Nikkei Asia reported that the firm and GlobalFoundries were considering restarting merger talks United Microelectronics Corp (UMC, 聯電), the world’s No. 4 contract chipmaker, yesterday launched a new US$5 billion 12-inch chip factory in Singapore as part of its latest effort to diversify its manufacturing footprint amid growing geopolitical risks. The new factory, adjacent to UMC’s existing Singapore fab in the Pasir Res Wafer Fab Park, is scheduled to enter volume production next year, utilizing mature 22-nanometer and 28-nanometer process technologies, UMC said in a statement. The company plans to invest US$5 billion during the first phase of the new fab, which would have an installed capacity of 30,000 12-inch wafers per month, it said. The
Taiwan’s official purchasing managers’ index (PMI) last month rose 0.2 percentage points to 54.2, in a second consecutive month of expansion, thanks to front-loading demand intended to avoid potential US tariff hikes, the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) said yesterday. While short-term demand appeared robust, uncertainties rose due to US President Donald Trump’s unpredictable trade policy, CIER president Lien Hsien-ming (連賢明) told a news conference in Taipei. Taiwan’s economy this year would be characterized by high-level fluctuations and the volatility would be wilder than most expect, Lien said Demand for electronics, particularly semiconductors, continues to benefit from US technology giants’ effort
Minister of Finance Chuang Tsui-yun (莊翠雲) yesterday told lawmakers that she “would not speculate,” but a “response plan” has been prepared in case Taiwan is targeted by US President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, which are to be announced on Wednesday next week. The Trump administration, including US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, has said that much of the proposed reciprocal tariffs would focus on the 15 countries that have the highest trade surpluses with the US. Bessent has referred to those countries as the “dirty 15,” but has not named them. Last year, Taiwan’s US$73.9 billion trade surplus with the US
