Cybersecurity Experts Embracing Artificial Intelligence for Improved Threat Intelligence

Cybersecurity experts have long recognized the benefits of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in threat intelligence. Protos Labs has recently launched a freemium version of its AI-powered platform, Protos AI, designed to assist security teams in conducting structured investigations without being tied to a specific vendor ecosystem.

Addressing the Growing Gap in Cybersecurity Skills

The International Society of Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (ISC2) has reported a significant shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals globally, with approximately 4.8 million professionals needed to fill the gap.
Security teams are facing increased workloads and budget constraints, making hiring alone insufficient to bridge this gap.

In response, security leaders are turning to AI as a means to enhance their capabilities.

Protos AI Overcoming Integration Challenges

Many organizations struggle with adopting AI due to its integration into single-vendor platforms, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul of their security stacks before they can fully evaluate the effectiveness of AI.

According to Joel Lee, CEO of Protos Labs, “The next stage of cybersecurity will be characterized not by the sheer number of analysts hired, but rather by the quality of intelligence produced. By leveraging AI agents, we can perform structured investigations at scale, handle routine tasks, and generate actionable intelligence that endures beyond individual reports.”

Facilitating Widespread Adoption

To facilitate widespread adoption, Protos AI offers a freemium version, allowing security teams to immediately benefit from autonomous, AI-driven investigations without requiring extensive setup or investment.

This initial access empowers teams to tackle various use cases, including identifying exposed vulnerabilities, analyzing BEC campaigns, generating regular threat summaries, and monitoring credential exposures.
With its reliance on a curated marketplace of open-source intelligence integrations, Protos AI excels at conducting intricate, multi-step investigations, rapidly correlating threat entities, querying real-time sources, and producing well-documented reports.

For organizations seeking advanced features, including connections to commercial threat feeds, SIEM and EDR telemetry, asset inventory, and proprietary systems, the paid enterprise edition provides enhanced functionality.

Deployment Options and Compatibility

Protos AI maintains compatibility with popular AI models, such as Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, allowing organizations to tailor their deployments to suit their unique needs.

Deployment options span across public clouds, isolated enterprise virtual private networks (VPCs), on-premises infrastructure, and even secure environments.

Ultimately, Protos AI aims to help organizations build a sustained competitive advantage through the efficient generation and application of intelligence, empowering them to stay ahead of emerging threats and drive continuous innovation in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
