Harnessing AI for Enhanced Cybersecurity and Productivity
Discover why AI is essential for improving cybersecurity and productivity in today’s landscape
Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured our collective imagination. Many are exploring how best to apply this technology to help with day-to-day activities as well as their organization’s more strategic initiatives. With the increasing complexity of cyber threats, the constant need to be more productive, and the challenge of managing a complex computing infrastructure, many companies are turning to AI to help. A recent study from Aberdeen Strategy and Research highlights the role AI is already starting to play in improving many of the areas critical for daily work.
The Role of AI in Cybersecurity
One of the top reasons for integrating AI into cybersecurity strategies is its impact on data confidentiality/privacy. Organizations leveraging AI are 26% more likely to cite improvements in data security compared to those who don’t. As a result, organizations that use AI are 20% less likely to have experienced ransomware attacks or data breaches. AI helps these organizations detect issues and respond to potential threats in real-time, helping protect sensitive information.
Reducing slowdowns / improving availability is another area where AI is making an impact. Organizations that have implemented AI are 15% less likely to have experienced cybersecurity incidents that lead to unplanned downtime of endpoints or network slowdowns. These events can significantly impact productivity and lead to substantial costs.
Boosting Productivity with AI-ready Hardware
To achieve similar results, consider utilizing AI-ready or AI-capable hardware. This hardware offers a range of features designed to bolster your endpoint security and assist with day-to-day tasks. For example, Aberdeen found that organizations not utilizing any AI are 31% more likely to feel that their employees aren’t productive enough. Additionally, those organizations that use AI also see an impact on user experience, being 57% more likely to describe their technology as user-friendly. AI-ready devices are designed to help employees accomplish routine tasks faster, allowing them to focus on more strategic activities.

The benefits of AI-powered devices aren’t limited to endpoints. AI-powered hardware also helps manage Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Organizations using AI are 1.3 times more likely to leverage data efficiently from numerous IoT devices. AI users are also 1.6 times more likely to be working with big data, and AI-powered devices can assist with computing, managing, and analyzing vast amounts of data.
By implementing AI, organizations can realize significant benefits in both cybersecurity and IT hardware management. Organizations seeking improvements in productivity, data security, availability, and data management should consider evaluating AI-powered hardware.
