Enabling AI to build resilience in cybersecurity

In this industry report, Chris Kissel, Research Vice President, Security and Trust from IDC, addresses the top 5 questions on why fragmented security tools fail and what unified, AI-driven defense actually looks like in practice.

Gain valuable knowledge from this industry expert to stay ahead of the curve in today’s rapidly evolving IT environment.

Download this report to learn the answers to the following:

1. Why do traditional cybersecurity defenses continue to fail even as organizations increase their security spending?
2. What separates AI that genuinely improves security operations from AI that simply creates a more sophisticated layer of complexity?
3. How should IT and security leaders reframe what “resilience” means in an era where attackers deliberately target recovery infrastructure?
4. What does a mature approach to measuring cybersecurity effectiveness look like for a midsize organization?
5. Why is the convergence of IT service delivery, cybersecurity, and cyber-resilience into a single operational model now a strategic necessity rather than a vendor offering?

“For most of the past decade, IT operations and security operations ran as parallel functions with separate teams, separate tools, and separate success metrics. That separation made sense when threats moved slowly enough that handoffs between functions were manageable. It does not anymore. The adversary operates across all three domains simultaneously: exploiting an unpatched endpoint, moving laterally through an identity system, and targeting backup infrastructure to eliminate recovery options. A defense architecture that treats those as distinct problems — routed to different teams generating different alert queues — is structurally mismatched to an attack that treats them as one coordinated operation.”.
