Analytics helps firms identify pattern deviation to improve cybersecurity

Smart analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) can pinpoint pattern deviations and help companies to make informed decisions on where cybersecurity weak points are, as well as how to address them, says information technology (IT) multinational Wipro Cybersecurity and Risk Services-Africa director and chief executive Sanjay Vaid. Smart, integrated security systems that use biometrics, encryption and advanced threat detection are necessary for any business that deals with data, which, if accessed by a cybercriminal, could compromise their operations, he emphasises.
