AIOps Greasing the Wheel of Digital Security amid COVID-19

Amid the most challenging era for business infrastructures and transformations, AIOps (AI for IT Operations) can help industries operating in the digital environment to be vigilant when it comes to network operations or the digital security measures.

AIOps has the potential to significantly align well with the cybersecurity needs of a company. A cybersecurity department in every organization needs to be active with respect to the latest and innovative security-related solutions. Threat detection and data security are crucial for every business entity.

The corporate networking infrastructure for communication purposes is always under the threat of unauthorized third-parties that try to access confidential communications. Whether they are wireless, wired or connected to internet of things (IoT) devices. AIOps, through its intelligent algorithms, detects the communication requests and their source to accept them and restrict the fraudulent entities from becoming part of the legitimate network. Visibility and speed are two important aspects of platform security. If the source of the incoming request is known, it would be easy to verify it.

The following are some of AIOps applications:

Regulatory Framework

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) corresponds to the protection of online customer data online. Businesses are required to ensure enough security measures to protect the personal and financial information of customers stored in an online account from identity theft and data breaches. AIOps can be used to secure the data from unauthorized third-party access in order to comply with the regulatory requirements.

Real-time Data Processing

In this era, communications, connection, data transmission and storage activities are performed online. Real-time data collection and processing in AIOps help streamline the operations and ensure the security of platforms in a centralized database. Technologies are shaping future investments. Enterprise management with respect to the performance attributes such as data analysis and monitoring for controlled access are in high demand. Advanced automation techniques have become possible with the innovative AIOps that help undergo operations in efficiently, eliminating the time-consuming and frustrating manual tasks. Machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms collectively help reduce the overall response time, provide optimal user experience and protect network systems.

Applications of AIOps amid the COVID-19 outbreak pave the roads for leading challenges. The rapid digital transformations during the pandemic are giving birth to various challenges with respect to security, user experience and the downfall of industries. Businesses are revamping operational infrastructure and fraudsters are actively exploiting vulnerabilities in the digital environment. The density with which the fraud is increasing each passing day is high. AIOps, under these circumstances, help businesses take into consideration vigilant security measures. The innovative solutions employ AI algorithms for the security of online platforms.

Information Security and AIOps

Information security highlights three major factors: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality takes into account the need for protecting confidential customer information. Integrity keeps the form of data intact and availability ensures that the data is present at the moment when it is required. AIOps help ensure this CIA triad of information security through its high potential applications online security.

High-scale data breaches, identity theft, account takeover frauds, malicious executables injection and similar cyberattacks are due to the uncontrolled access over user accounts and data. The list of fraud calls for stringent actions that AIOps provides in the form of digital security. The AI-powered identity verification systems help verifies the identity of customers online before onboarding them. Biometric sign-in every time while accessing the accounts help mitigate the risk fo fraud and bad actors that become the reason for malevolent activities. The spoofing detection and prevention techniques use AIOps that identify the spoofing elements in user-uploaded identity proofs and discard their communication request, which in return curb the likelihood of cyberattacks.
