How Can Artificial Intelligence Transform Cyber Security Operations?

Novaigu Logo

Novaigu is Exploring the possibilities and advantages AI can bring in automating the world of Cyber Security & every other domain beyond.

The problems we are starting to solve:

A Compliance Dilemma
Audit and Language Processing Applications

Compliance isn’t a matter restricted to cyber security; it’s a universal concern affecting all industries. We are tackling the issue and how a defense AI can significantly contribute to automating and standardizing the following:
Establishing Baselines: Creating universal standards remains a significant challenge.
Adhering to Rules: Ensuring consistent compliance with both internal and external regulations is a complex task.
Enforcement Controls: Implementing robust and responsive enforcement mechanisms is vital but remains a hurdle in many industries.


The Knowledge Bottleneck
Consulting and Advisory Applications


Providing accurate and timely advice relies heavily on the acquisition, retention and the structure of knowledge utilization. The challenges include:
Acquiring and consuming Knowledge: The time required to gain and maintain industry specific knowledge is a barrier, slowing down processes and decision-making, we often rely on expensive resources with decades of experience, but what happens when the resources are lost? do we start the search again?
Knowledge Retention and Utilization: Storing and accessing large volumes of information is a persistent challenge in the consulting landscape.


The Inconsistency Problem
Risk Mitigation Applications


Managing risks is not merely about identifying potential hazards but also involves taking a strategic approach to minimize their impact reputationally, financially and environmentally. Problems we are trying to solve:
Redundancy: Unnecessary repetition and overlap in processes that can lead to inefficiency.
Variation in Results: Uncontrolled variations that results in unreliable and unpredictable outcomes.
Inconsistency: Discrepancies in approach and execution that compromises the integrity of risk management practice

Case Study - Team Backlog

— Trigger

  • Organization is in a firefighting mode.
  • Spending money is creating additional requirements, and open new attack vectors.

— Challenge

  • 23 facilities globally.
  • Inconsistency in results between regions.
  • Different solutions deployed on each site to mitigate the same threats.
  • New management has no visibility or historical data to rely on in decision making.

Novaigu Platform

  • Identify the organization risk profile.
  • Discover and assess assets to establish a cybersecurity baseline.
  • Implement a cyber security maturity roadmap.
  • Implement mitigations based on criticality to improve resilience.
  • Reassess on regular basis to measure maturity and budgeting requirement.

Case Study - Regulatory Compliance

— Trigger

  • Change in Regulatory and Compliance requirements.
  • Implement a cyber security program and assess their maturity on annual bases.
  • Three facilities in the US and Canada.

— Challenge

  • Large quantity of assets (170 network devices, 340 systems, 1000s of network connected field devices per site).
  • Reliance on the IT team to manage their assets.
  • Five specialized resources and six months to complete the task.

Novaigu Platform

  • Identify ICS/OT assets and define ownership, responsibility and accountability, and segregate OT and IT assets.
  • Reduce efforts, logistics and time required to one week per site.
  • Execute a vulnerability Assessment to evaluate weaknesses in security controls (per frameworks and standards) and provide a detailed and prioritized roadmap for the cybersecurity program.
  • No disruption to operators during the activities.
  • Reduce average cost from 340K to 120K a year.

Case Study - Expansions & Upgrades

— Trigger

  • Additional production units.
  • System upgrades and migrations.

— Challenge

  • Lack of staff and skills.
  • New systems interface with the existing environment.
  • Added complexity to inventory and managed assets.
  • Site has no visibility, and the new systems are adding risks.

Novaigu Platform

  • Immediately discover the new connected assets.
  • Scan security configurations on each asset and harden it.
  • Classify and organize assets based on use, functionality and criticality.
  • Execute a vulnerability Assessment to evaluate weaknesses in security controls, user access, patch, AV … etc.
  • Report on gaps and prioritize remediations based on compliances, security lifecycles and maturity levels.
  • The remediations (hardware, software, labor) can upon negotiations contracted to Novaigu professional services for implementation.
