Artificial intelligence technologies can enable government agencies to detect cyber threats in their information systems at an earlier stage and respond more effectively to security incidents, Maryam Haji-Ismayilova, an official responsible for international assistance and cooperation at the Delegation of the European Union to Azerbaijan, said at the 8th Summit of Information Security Leaders held in Baku, APA-Economics reports.
According to her, artificial intelligence can help organizations detect threats more quickly, prioritize security vulnerabilities, and respond more effectively to incidents.
The EU official noted that when unusual logins outside normal working hours, suspicious data transfers, or multiple failed login attempts are recorded in government agencies' information systems, artificial intelligence can analyze these incidents and send alerts to the security team. Specialists can then review the alerts and take the necessary measures.
Maryam Haji-Ismayilova emphasized that alerts generated by artificial intelligence systems may not always be accurate.
According to her, organizations should view automated analysis as a tool that enhances human expertise rather than replaces it.
She added that the results produced by these systems should be verified, responsibilities for critical decisions should be clearly defined, and alternative defense mechanisms should be kept operational in the event of an incident.
