An Outlook on the Status of Security Performance in The Light of Intelligence

Abstract: An outlook on the status of security performance in light of intelligence focuses on the business aspects and needs of organizations. The security plan needs to be integrated with the business and should be developed in collaboration with different groups within an organization. Organizations need to have a culture that embraces security and intelligence. Security performance is one of the top concerns of modern businesses. Companies must look at the underlying causes of their problems in order to fix them. A good cybersecurity posture is often measured by a lack of data breaches. Lack of specific metrics, however, may be an indication that a company does not have a strategic mindset. Attacks and malfunctions are extremely costly. Detection involves identifying suspicious behaviors and alerting the appropriate personnel. An important challenge in detecting suspicious activity is finding the right balance between false alarms and coverage. An effective security program must be able to mitigate attacks while reducing false alarms. The growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) is creating a new kind of cybervulnerability. Developers often overlook AI security, leaving it open to attack by adversaries. Attacks can take the form of basic manipulations and probes or adversarial AI. As the number of computer systems increases, so do the risks they pose to the security of data and systems. This article examines the importance of security performance, the role of the cloud, machine learning-based security models, and incident response. We also look at the importance of a security model that incorporates intelligence. Finally, this report also identifies five critical areas in which Intelligence attacks pose a high risk to organizations.
