5 Awesome Benefits and 5 Scary Risks of Using Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity – Friend or Foe?
In today’s world, cybersecurity is a high priority for businesses of all shapes and sizes, including those who are local to the Grand Strand and Myrtle Beach. As cyber threats continue to change, grow, and evolve; companies are turning to artificial intelligence as a possible solution to protect their networks and data. While AI has its benefits, it can also pose certain risks to a business.
AI, Cybersecurity and Your Smarthome Systems!
Smart home technology has become increasingly popular in recent years, allowing homeowners to automate various tasks and control their homes remotely.
However, this convenience comes with cybersecurity risks. Smart home devices, such as cameras, thermostats, and speakers, can be vulnerable to hacking, putting both the homeowner’s privacy and security at risk. Hackers can use these devices to access personal information, spy on occupants, and even control the physical functions of the home.
Therefore, it is essential for homeowners to take cybersecurity measures seriously, such as regularly updating device firmware, using strong passwords, and monitoring network activity. By being vigilant, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of smart home technology without compromising their security.
In this article, we will dive into the five benefits and five risks of using artificial intelligence for cybersecurity.
5 Benefits of artificial intelligence for Cybersecurity
1. Rapid Threat Detection: artificial intelligence can quickly and efficiently find patterns in data and identify behavioral outliers that could indicate a cyber attack. This can allow security teams to respond as quickly as possible to potential threats.
2. Improved Accuracy: artificial intelligence algorithms can analyze massive volumes of data with far more accuracy than humans, mitigating the risk of false positives and false negatives.
3. Predictive Analytics: artificial intelligence can use machine learning to see potential cyber security threats before they happen. This is likely to help security teams address and remove weaknesses in their systems.
4. Enhanced Automation: artificial intelligence is able to automate certain routine tasks, such as vulnerability assessments and patching allowing security teams to better focus on more complicated threats.
5. Cost-Effective: By automating arduous and repetitive tasks, artificial intelligence can reduce the workload on security teams and reduce staffing costs.
5 Risks of artificial intelligence for Cybersecurity
1. Bias: artificial intelligence algorithms can be biased if they are trained on incomplete data. This can create false predictions and vulnerabilities in security.
2. Lack of Transparency: artificial intelligence algorithms can be quite hard to interpret, making it difficult to find and fix errors.
3. Cybercriminals: Cybercriminals can use artificial intelligence to create automated attacks and avoid detection. This might lead to much more sophisticated and less detectable cyber attacks.
4. Dependency: too much dependence on artificial intelligence could potentially lead to complacent security teams, limiting their ability to identify and diffuse new threats.
5. Data Privacy: artificial intelligence requires massive amounts of data to function in an effective way, which could lead to privacy risks if that data is mishandled or ends up in the wrong hands.
The Power of Artificial Intelligence over Cybersecurity
Artificial intelligence has incredible potential to forever alter the world of cybersecurity by improving threat detection, accuracy, and automation. Alternatively, it can also pose risks, such as bias, lack of transparency, and dependency. To fully take advantage of the benefits of AI, businesses must be conscious of these risks and take the correct steps to mitigate them. This includes investing in artificial intelligence training data, introducing and implementing transparent algorithms, and introducing human oversight of artificial intelligence systems. By providing balance to the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence, businesses are able to not only improve their cybersecurity but also protect their networks and data from the newest threats.
The AI benefits trump the potential risks in Cybersecurity
The use of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity can offer numerous benefits, such as enhanced threat detection and faster incident response times. However, it is crucial to consider the potential risks, such as AI’s susceptibility to bias and the possibility of attackers using AI for their malicious purposes. As with any new technology, it is important to approach AI in cybersecurity with caution, constantly evaluate its effectiveness, and continually adapt to emerging threats. Ultimately, by using AI responsibly and ethically, we can create a safer digital world for everyone.

Commercial Real Estate: Why You Need Security
In a previous blog, we wrote about the many reason small business owners need a commercial security system:
Have you dealt with
✔️employee theft?
✔️counterfit money?
✔️ loitering around your building?
✔️vandalism?
✔️break-ins?
If so, installing, maintaining and monitoring a commercial security system is the way to go.

Protect Everything, Including Your Employees
Do you have a commercial building, a business AND employees? Then the very last thing you want to hear is that there has been an ‘incident’ at your business, right?
Whether it is a phone call from your employee, or a call from the police, as soon as you hear this message, you know that you and your business are in trouble.
If you are the owner or CEO of a brick and mortar store, a restaurant, a gas station, a bank, a school, a church or a service provider with a fleet of trucks and a slew of employees, you never want harm to come to your employees, correct?

How Crime Rates Spike In Summer and What to Do To Prevent Becoming a Victim
South Carolina Summer is Nearly Here!
Summer brings:
- swimming
- boating
- surfing
- hiking
- fishing
and an uptick in violent crime.
Yes, you read that right.
In summer months, crime rates go up!
Most of our readers live and work in either Horry County or Georgetown County – just like we, owners at Strand Security, do – and this all makes sense
More Daylight. Warmer Weather. Opportunity for Crime Rises.
While you would think that winter and darkness invite more crime, it’s the exact opposite.
Most home invasions happen between the hours of 10 AM -2 PM anyway!
As people spend more time outdoors, they are exposed to more people and thus crime rates can go up, especially in places where petty theft opportunities start (beach, boat docks, outdoor restaurants, tourist shopping strips etc.)
As far a summer crime spikes, here are the three most common reasons!
1
When looking at when violence was significantly higher, it turns out that during the summer crimes rates spike, compared to winter, spring and fall seasons.
Unfortunately, that includes crimes like rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault. Among adults, simple assault is also more common in summer than in other months.
How to prevent this from happening to you?
- Go out in groups
- Have a plan, know where you are headed!
- Be aware of where you go and where you park
- Don’t wear expensive watches or jewelry, or flaunt them if your do
- Don’t bring wallets or purses to the beach and leave them unattended
- Share your location with friends and family when going on vacation
- While running or walking, don’t wear earbuds or headphones
You can not prevent all crime, but you can be vigilant about preventing crime. Most criminals go for unsuspecting victims and look for opportunities: they are not looking to confront hyper-aware people!
2
As the summer season heats up, so do property crimes. More tourists on the Grand Strand means more vehicles, more people and more possessions! Household burglary rates go up in summer as more vacation homes are now occupied!
Burglary is 11% more common in the summer than in the winter and for our area in South Carolina that makes total sense. Homes that are empty in winter, now have people with electronic equipment, computers, expensive phones, bikes, boats and surf boards, just to name some property that is easily stolen!
If you are vacationing on the Grand Strand, or have ‘toys’ like boats, bikes and surfboards, make sure to lock them up when you are not around! Crime of opportunity is always there, but with extended daylight hours, there is more time for criminals to steal!
3
Next, let’s address beach crime. With over 60 miles of beachfront on the Grand Strand, beach crime rates increase drastically in summer months, as more people come to Myrtle Beach to vacation. While it’s tempting to bring ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ to the beach, especially if you have a large family, let us recommend you leave valuables at home, or in a safe at your vacation rental!
Beach crimes are an equal opportunity crime! No matter who you are, if you leave your things on the beach unattended you run the risk of getting your things stolen. Chairs, shoes but also surf boards, wallets, purses and phones!
TO be safe, always leave someone at your beach station to watch over your things, or leave all valuables behind. Don’t assume that those around you will speak up when someone will try to walk off with your property. Most beach-goers don’t and won’t as they might not see it, or not know whether to intervene, or not.
Preventing petty beach crime is as easy as not bringing anything of value with you for a day of fun!
4
As mentioned in #2, the nicer weather brings us outside with our outdoor toys. Boats, surf boards but also motercycles, bicycles, basketball hoops, eBikes, sports equipment, tools and surround sound home systems. Yes, your nice new Sonos speaker could be stolen as well.
The first line of defense is a home security system with both indoor and outdoor cameras, the second line of defense is locking thing up when not in use! We know this is easier said than done because… kids! Right? We know kids leave bikes out, toys out and forget to put them back inside.
A home security system, a security sign, visible security cameras – these deterrents all help prevent crime of opportunity!
Don’t become a Summer Crime Statistic!
Prevention, prevention, prevention.
Now that you’ve read this blog, be aware. Share with your family. Make a plan. We encourage you to have fun, but also choose your activities wisely and always lock up expensive toys and sports equipment as well as all your tech!
If you need help, give us a call! Stay safe and have a wonderful summer.
