Every conceivable bit and byte of information is, quite literally, at our fingertips, writes Sirjad Parakkat, VP of Engineering for Ivanti, in a recent Forbes article.

Many have said data is the new oil — those who produce, shape, control and own it are at a distinct power advantage. Information is currency.

The world is hurtling toward producing 200 zettabytes of data by 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures.

You need to not only have information but also know how to use it wisely. The key to effective knowledge management may boil down to one rapidly evolving technology: AI.

AI is not without detractors, and for good reason. For one thing, AI has become a powerful weapon for threat actors looking to elevate their cybercrime capabilities — among other concerns.

But AI is also becoming impressively adept at processing and managing vast quantities of information — to an extent that would have seemed unfathomable just a few years ago.

AI-powered output can only be as good as the input, so it’s essential to ensure that data provided to AI systems is accurate, relevant and compliant with regulatory requirements. In addition, robust access controls and encryption mechanisms should be implemented to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access.

We’re still at the first few chapters of this emerging technology, but companies that stay at the forefront (cautiously and well-informed) will be positioned for ongoing advantage.
