Key Highlights :

• Distinguishing marketing hype from practical value: Focus on ways to assess AI solutions beyond vendor claims, including real-world impact, measurable results, and the AI’s role in solving specific cybersecurity challenges.
• Evaluating AI maturity and readiness levels: Assessing whether an organization is ready for AI in its cybersecurity framework, especially regarding data quality, infrastructure readiness, and overall maturity to manage and scale AI tools effectively. This also includes gauging the AI model’s maturity level in handling complex, evolving threats.
• AI Maturity and Readiness - Proven Tools vs. Experimental Models: Evaluate the readiness level of AI models themselves, where real maturity is marked by robust performance in varied cyber environments, while hype often surrounds models that are still experimental or reliant on ideal conditions. Organizational readiness, such as infrastructure and data integration, also plays a critical role in realizing real-world results versus theoretical benefits.
