AI to bridge cybersecurity talent gap: Google Cloud’s Steve Ledzian

Organisations will need to use artificial intelligence (AI) to address the cybersecurity talent gap by delegating low-level threat analysis work to chatbots and machine learning so as to enable the analysts to do more complex and meaningful work, said Steve Ledzian, the chief technology officer (CTO) of Google Cloud Security at Mandiant Asia Pacific in Japan.

Most organisations, he said, discover cyberattacks through external entities like a law enforcement agency or a security vendor despite significant investment in internal security controls and tools.
