Learning about methods to ensure critical software is running at full capacity, I came across AI. AI is used to assist security admins in running long and monotonous tasks. Whenever new software is being used, or an update rolls out for existing software, network admins have a suite of AI-assisted tools and programs that can run complete tests and scans over the entire network to see if any vulnerabilities exist. They can make them brute force attack the network or the selected software to see if they can find some sort of backdoor into the network. Then, once the tests are complete, the data is logged into whatever software they use to examine the results of these tests. I knew about the fear of AI being used to crack into systems, but it was great to learn about AI being used to harden them, too. AI is such a blessing and a curse.
