Report Highlights Rising Cybersecurity Challenges and Calls for AI-Driven Solutions in Threat Detection

(IN BRIEF) The 2024 State of Network Threat Detection report by Cybersecurity Insiders and Enea reveals that alert fatigue, encrypted attack masking, and limited cloud visibility are worsening challenges in cybersecurity. Poor alert accuracy is the top issue, with 61% of professionals affected, and encryption has become the primary blind spot. To combat these, security teams are turning to AI and anomaly detection for automated threat prioritization and advanced behavioral analysis. Enea’s Qosmos DPI technology supports this effort by providing real-time traffic classification.

(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 4-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — A new report, 2024 State of Network Threat Detection, by Cybersecurity Insiders and Enea highlights three escalating challenges in cybersecurity: alert fatigue, the misuse of encryption to mask cyberattacks, and limited visibility of cloud workloads. The report reveals that alert inaccuracy remains the top issue in network intrusion detection and prevention, affecting 61% of surveyed professionals—a 16% increase since 2022.

With encrypted traffic cited as the top visibility blind spot and cloud workload monitoring becoming increasingly difficult, the report shows growing interest in AI and automation to address these issues. Automated alert prioritization is now considered essential by 62% of respondents, while 71% rank AI integration as highly important for tackling sophisticated threats. Anomaly detection through AI, viewed as crucial by 66%, is also expected to see significant adoption in the coming years.

Enea’s Senior Analyst Laura Wilber emphasized the need for advanced tools, stating that AI is becoming essential in combating cyber threats that evade traditional defenses. Enea, known for its Qosmos DPI technology, continues to provide real-time traffic classification and IDS-based threat detection, integrating smoothly with cybersecurity platforms.

Enea, Arista Networks, and Custocy experts will discuss the report’s findings and potential solutions in a webinar on November 14. For more information and to download the full report, visit Enea’s website.
