There are a number of challenges when it comes to effective IT security: On the one hand, organizations are facing an increasing number of malicious programs, and on the other, the number of devices to be protected is growing rapidly - especially in connected IIoT environments.
Common IT security solutions typically require a lot of administrative work, this is why the shortage of IT security experts adds significantly to the challenges outlined above.
Self-learning systems, using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning mechanisms, may help in achieving the necessary balance between risk and administrative efforts, thus providing an efficient level of security.
