A leading project by: Bondalti (Portugal) – Subcategory: Process safety and cyber security.
Bondalti has implemented an advanced AI-driven cybersecurity solution to detect and counter digital threats. This service is tailored to provide comprehensive visibility and monthly insights into security operations and effectiveness.
The Importance of Cyber Prevention in the Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, cyber prevention is crucial to protect intellectual property, ensure the safety of critical systems, and maintain the integrity of complex industrial processes. The industry’s reliance on digital technologies for innovation and efficiency makes it a target for cyber threats, which can have far-reaching consequences if not adequately addressed. This project focuses on implementing AI-driven behaviour detection in cybersecurity measures, emphasising the critical importance of safeguarding systems against emerging threats.
An AI-driven tool to detect threats
The team has implemented an AI-driven tool with a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that provides a model of actors to detect and combat digital adversaries. It features autonomous processes that learn and verify results, offering full visibility of service activity through a customer portal. Monthly reports detail incident responses, use cases, service requests, and bulletin watch summaries, providing insights into the security landscape and the effectiveness of the tool.
Recent Achievements
Recent reports indicate that 63,680 events were inspected, generating 4,662 alerts. Of those, 4,261 were investigated, and 205 real incidents were closed. Investigations and improvements are created based on current correlation and alerting settings and the service scope agreed upon. The service includes incident responses, use cases, service requests, and bulletin watch summaries, with indicators such as investigations created, pending, closed, rules triggered, and escalated investigations.
Integration and Collaboration
The AI-driven tool is provided on a cloud platform, where all analysts, specialists, and cyber intelligence capabilities use the same environment, generating synergies and effectiveness in detection and response capabilities. The service leverages third-party solutions integrated into said platform to maximise their value.
The Role of Human-AI Collaboration
The integration of AI cyber protection systems with human expertise is considered the best way to protect companies for several reasons:
- AI systems can process vast amounts of data and identify threats more quickly than humans, but they lack the ability to understand context and make nuanced decisions. Human experts can fill this gap by providing oversight and making informed decisions based on the AI’s findings.
- Humans can also provide the necessary training and feedback to improve AI systems over time, ensuring that they adapt to new threats and remain effective.
- Collaboration between AI and humans can lead to a more proactive approach to cybersecurity, with AI handling routine tasks and humans focusing on strategic planning and complex problem-solving.
- AI can automate the detection of cyber threats, but it requires human collaboration to interpret the results and decide on the appropriate response. This partnership ensures a balanced and comprehensive defence against evolving cyber threats.
- Human-AI collaboration in cybersecurity allows for the democratisation of advanced security tools, making expert-level protection accessible to organisations of all sizes.
- Teams of humans and AI working together can improve overall performance in high-stakes environments, such as cybersecurity, where the stakes are particularly high.
Bondalti’s implementation of AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, including the one described above, in conjunction with human expertise, has significantly enhanced the company’s ability to detect and respond to cyber threats. This integrated approach has led to the automated inspection, reflecting a proactive and evolving cybersecurity strategy. The collaboration between AI systems and human intelligence ensures a dynamic and robust defence, making the company’s digital assets more secure against current and emerging threats.
