Antivirus\/anti-malware was the only security technology enhanced with AI and ML that was used by more than half of the respondents (51%). This is not surprising, as <\/span><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\"><a class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/endpoint-security\/antivirus-from-stand-alone-product-to-endpoint-feature\" rel=\"noopener\">back in 2017<\/a><\/span><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">, practitioners were already beginning to implement AI\/ML in corporate antivirus measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Cybersecurity professionals have to match the bad actors who are sourcing AI\/ML technologies for their purposes. The arms race between CISOs and their adversaries may be driving adoption of tools with AI and ML capabilities in areas such as phishing detection (49%), threat detection and response (45%), and endpoint security (40%). One third of the AI\/ML integration in real-world security teams comes in the form of malware analysis (38%), intrusion detection and prevention (35%), threat intelligence (35%), identity and access management (34%), network security\/network traffic analysis (33%), vulnerability management (32%), and security information and event management (31%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">About a quarter of respondents mentioned using AI\/ML in user behavior analytics\/predictive analytics (27%), fraud detection (27%), automated security operations (26%), and automated incident response (25%).
