Healthcare organizations can use AI to defend against cyberthreat actors who use AI, especially in the areas of digital identity verification and social engineering.
One of the many ways healthcare organizations can use AI in cybersecurity is to strengthen digital identity verification, the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center, or Health-ISAC, suggested in a new white paper. The paper sheds light on ways in which healthcare chief information security officers, or CISOs, can implement advanced technologies to combat fraud and cyberattacks.
Cyber adversaries are increasingly using AI to perpetrate cyberattacks, Health-ISAC stated. For example, cyberthreat actors might use generative AI tools to craft advanced phishing emails that trick end-users into clicking a malicious link.
However, the white paper encouraged CISOs not to focus strictly on the nefarious use of AI.
“In cybersecurity, the recent focus has been on defending systems from attacks powered by Gen AI. But there are also positive use cases — particularly for digital identity — that leverage AI to defend against attacks,” the paper stated.
