From customer information to operational insights, data fuels decision-making and drives innovation. However, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, securing this valuable asset has become more challenging than ever before.
According to data published by Statista, the average cost of a data breach by 2022 across all industries was $4.35 million globally. This was most costly in healthcare, where each leak cost 10.1 million U.S. dollars. The financial sector followed closely. Each breach cost 6 million U.S. dollars, 1.5 million higher than the global average. This alarming trend underscores the importance of robust security measures to safeguard sensitive information.
Boomi, a leading integration solution provider platform, recognizes the critical need for data protection in the age of AI. With its advanced technologies and commitment to responsible AI, Boomi is at the forefront of ensuring that organizations can harness the power of AI without compromising on security.
As organizations on the Boomi platform embrace AI solutions, robust data security measures become more crucial than ever. Here, we explore how Boomi’s advanced technologies empower businesses to prioritize data protection in the age of AI.
AI - The Strength and Risks
AI offers unprecedented opportunities for businesses to optimize processes, personalize customer experiences, and gain valuable insights. However, it also introduces new risks, particularly in terms of data privacy and security.
The possibility of biased decision-making is among the foremost concerns associated with AI. Historical data is utilized by machine learning algorithms in order to generate predictions and recommendations. If this data is biased or incomplete, it can lead to discriminatory results, perpetuating existing inequalities.
Additionally, AI systems are vulnerable to attacks and manipulation. Adversaries can exploit vulnerabilities in AI algorithms to manipulate outcomes or steal sensitive information. This poses a significant threat to organizations, especially those operating in highly regulated industries such as finance and healthcare.
