AI-driven tools enable real-time analysis, anomaly detection, and automated response, drastically reducing the time to identify and respond to threats. This capability is particularly effective against advanced persistent threats (APTs) and zero-day exploits.
"AI tools enhance security operations by enabling rapid threat detection and incident response, often before traditional tools can react."
