Organizations increase AI adoption in cyber security: Wipro report

BENGALURU : Organizations are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to combat sophisticated cyber attacks and become more resilient, according to Wipro Ltd’s annual state of cyber security report (SOCR) that presents changing perspectives of cyber security globally.

There has been an increase in R&D with 49% of the worldwide cyber security related patents filed in the last four years being focussed on AI and machine learning (ML), the report said. “Nearly half the organizations are expanding cognitive detection capabilities to tackle unknown attacks in their Security Operations Centre (SOC).”

The fourth edition of the SOCR saw a global participation of 194 organizations and 21 partner academic, institutional and technology organizations over four months of research.
