At the Microsoft AI Tour Global Summit held in Hong Kong, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Vasu Jakkal predicted that AI-driven agent services (Agnets) would become a market trend in the future. He also revealed that Microsoft also expected to provide corresponding information security protection technology for such services in the future. However, he also emphasized that such technology still needs to be built on a correct data security structure. He also believed that enterprises of all sizes should take information security into consideration.Put it in the first place.
In the wave of artificial intelligence, information security issues need to be paid more attention
Vasu Jakkal pointed out that currently, as many as 80% of medium and large enterprises have begun to introduce artificial intelligence technology. At the same time, more and more artificial intelligence application services are entering the market or are ready to be launched, highlighting that the application of artificial intelligence technology will become more important.
As artificial intelligence (AI) is being introduced into many edge computing scenarios, information security will become even more important. This will also put greater pressure on Chief Information Officers (CIOs) around the world. They must not only formulate more stringent data usage policies, but also adjust them at any time to adapt to changes in AI technology.
With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity issues will become even more pronounced, impacting even more production output. Therefore, Microsoft believes that current cybersecurity challenges must also be addressed through AI. Furthermore, it's not just large-scale companies like Watsons, which spoke at the event, that need to prioritize cybersecurity; small and medium-sized enterprises should also prioritize cybersecurity.
Vasu Jakkal believes that AI technology can help address labor shortages and fill skills gaps, but it can also create greater cybersecurity issues. Therefore, before companies develop various AI applications, they must prioritize information security planning, such as which data can be used and which content should not be used for training. Otherwise, cybersecurity issues may be exacerbated.
Natively supports multi-cloud and multi-platform environments, while also collaborating with governments and businesses to achieve compliance
In the current wave of artificial intelligence, many companies will begin to introduce a variety of artificial intelligence application services. At the same time, companies will not only use a single cloud service platform. How does Microsoft ensure the security, diversity, and information credibility of use in a multi-cloud environment?
Vasu Jakkal said that Microsoft's services are currently designed from the ground up for multi-cloud environments, and the company is also collaborating with cloud service providers such as AWS and Oracle to enable greater compatibility and interoperability among more technical applications. The service itself can also be used in operating system environments such as Windows, Linux, and macOS, and it also ensures the security of various multi-modal artificial intelligence models, thereby meeting the security requirements of different businesses and applications.
As for how Microsoft ensures compliance and information protection in different national environments and geopolitical contexts, Vasu Jakkal emphasized that the company will collaborate with government agencies and businesses in various regions to ensure their security technologies meet regulatory standards. This will primarily involve providing different solutions based on how AI services are used.
Artificial intelligence agent services will become a future market trend, and artificial intelligence may also be used to ensure their safe operation in the future.
Regarding the future development of general AI technology, Vasu Jakkal predicts that AI-driven proxy services will become a major application scenario in the future market. However, he also emphasized that when enterprises develop such application services, they must ensure that all types of data are "AI-ready."
Currently providing information security issuesSecurity Copilot Service, allowing enterprises to solve information security problems through artificial intelligence. Vasu Jakkal also revealed that in the future, information security solutions operated by artificial intelligence may be provided for agency services, allowing more enterprises to solve information security problems through simpler operations.
In addition to the Security Copilot service, Microsoft is also launching aCopilot for Security Service, operates in the form of a chatbot, and allows information security personnel to interact through natural language, upload files for analysis, or even directly let the Copilot for Security service analyze program code, thereby speeding up information security personnel to find system vulnerabilities.
However, in Vasu Jakkal's opinion, all artificial intelligence services must be based on information security. Otherwise, no matter how much artificial intelligence technology is stacked to help deal with information security issues, the results will still be limited.
