Essential Eight and AI Cybersecurity: A Winning Combination for Business Protection

AI cyber threats are on the rise, and traditional security measures are no longer enough. To combat these sophisticated attacks, businesses must implement a robust framework like the Essential Eight.

What Is the Essential Eight?

The Essential Eight is a cybersecurity framework designed to help businesses protect their digital assets. It includes key strategies like:

• Application whitelisting.
• Regular patching.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA).

How the Essential Eight Combats AI Threats

• Application Whitelisting: Prevents unauthorized AI-powered malware from running.
• Patching Applications: Closes vulnerabilities that AI-driven attacks exploit.
• User Access Control: Limits the damage AI-based social engineering attacks can cause.

Why Zero-Trust Security Matters

In addition to the Essential Eight, adopting zero-trust security ensures that no one, inside or outside the network, is trusted by default. This is crucial in countering AI cyberattacks that rely on exploiting trust.

Managed SIEM: Your First Line of Defence

Managed SIEM uses AI to monitor, detect, and respond to cyber threats in real time. It’s a proactive approach to cybersecurity, giving businesses a critical edge.
