challenges remain.

FULL STORY
======================================================================Three 
in four organizations now use AI, 99% say itll influence their renewals AI 
can help boost speed and accuracy, but human oversight is crucial Many are 
still worried about data privacy and cost 

Three in four (73%) organizations worldwide have now integrated AI into their 
cybersecurity strategies, with data-heavy industries like financial services 
(82%) leading the way with adoption, new research has found. 

A study by Arctic Wolf added most companies (73%) are now using AI to 
automate their security operations for around-the-clock protection, but 
threat prediction and prevention (72%) and boosting detection capabilities 
(70%) are also high on the priorities list. 

Looking ahead, virtually all (99%) of the 2,000 IT and security 
decision-makers surveyed said that AI would influence their cybersecurity 
purchases or renewals in the next 12 months. AI and cybersecurity now go 
hand-in-hand 

Arctic Wolf highlighted the continued importance of human oversight  but by 
combining it with AI tools , companies can, cut through the noise, reduce 
alert fatigue, accelerate investigations and help security teams focus on 
stopping the threats that matter most. 

More than two-thirds agreed AI needs substantial human input for it to be 
highly successful, with half (52%) planning to upskill their cybersecurity 
teams for AI. 

The insights from this report give leaders the data they need to make smart, 
targeted investments, deploying AI where it can deliver measurable outcomes, 
cut through alert noise, and help security teams work with greater speed, 
accuracy, and confidence, Technology and Services President Dan Schiappa 
summarized. 

However, the same old challenges persist. Were talking data privacy (33%), 
cost (30%) and concerns that AI doesnt fully meet business needs (28%). 

Arctic Wolf also worries that a misunderstanding of AI skills could cause 
further delays. 

Thankfully, off-the-shelf products integrate AI directly into cybersecurity 
solutions so that theres no need to learn new languages or query structures. 

Unless your organization is looking to build and develop their own in-house 
artificial intelligence and machine learning models, most are highly unlikely 
to be limited in their success due to a lack of AI expertise, the report 
concluded. You might also like Set the foundation with the best endpoint
