More sophisticated solutions are in demand due to a growing number of attacks, including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and data breaches, which are proving to be extremely expensive for the affected organizations.

RighIT solutions has earned a reputation for its innovative approach to cybersecurity, leveraging cutting-edge technology to protect its clients from ever-changing threats from hackers. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of their approach is the utilization of AI to fight AI-based threats. RighIT's proprietary AI models scan their clients' systems for any potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cybercriminals. Once these vulnerabilities have been identified the company's cybersecurity, experts analyze and plan for new threats that may not have been tried by bad actors. This approach allows the company to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be used against their clients.

In addition, Bhansali stresses the importance of a measured response to the potential threat posed by AI weaponized for cybersecurity purposes. "There's been a lot of fear-mongering in the media regarding AI, which has caused unnecessary panic among the public. While AI can certainly be a powerful tool in the hands of malicious actors, it's important to recognize that it does have its limitations. AI is adept at analyzing known information, but it lacks consciousness and therefore cannot analyze unknown information. With respect to cybersecurity threats, AI can be used by hackers to identify vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited. However, this information is already available to hackers, regardless of whether or not AI is involved."

Bhansali goes on to explain that, at RighIT Solutions, they use their own AI models and combine them with the expertise of the most talented professionals in the industry to stay ahead of potential threats. By utilizing AI in conjunction with human intelligence, RighIT Solutions is able to identify potential threats before they are even considered by malicious actors. While AI certainly has a role to play in the realm of cybersecurity, it's clear that it's only one piece of the puzzle. Combining cutting-edge technology with human expertise is crucial in staying ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.
