A A cybersecurity expert, Ademola Lawal, has called for the strengthening of Nigeria’s digital defences against cyber attacks. Lawal stated that Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Quantum Computing would help mitigate any cyber threats.
The cybersecurity
expert stated that, “Artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and
Quantum Computing will help strengthen digital defences and mitigate attacks
before they cause damage. AI and ML have already transformed cybersecurity by
detecting threats faster than traditional methods.
“These technologies
analyze vast amounts of data, identifying patterns that signal potential
attacks. Ademola Lawal, a leading expert in cybersecurity, emphasizes that
machine learning continuously adapts, allowing security systems to recognize
and respond to new threats in real-time. Automated defences powered by AI
significantly reduce response times, preventing breaches before they escalate.”
He said, “Unlike
classical computers, which rely on binary code, quantum computers use qubits
that exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables cybersecurity
experts to develop advanced encryption techniques resistant to quantum-based
attacks and analyze cyber threats more efficiently than ever. Lawal asserted
that integrating the powerful trio will help create next-generation security
solutions capable of outpacing cybercriminals.
As cyber threats
continue to evolve, so must our defences. Harnessing the combined power of AI,
ML, and quantum computing, the future of cybersecurity looks more secure than
ever.” he added.
