Attackers steal customer data, damage infrastructure, and launch attacks on other systems by targeting these networks. Although AI benefits telecoms, at the same time, it adds a new layer of complexity to the security situation. So, it asks for precise and careful security management. Telecom companies can enforce solid security measures to protect training data utilized for AI models. This can encompass data encryption, access controls, and regular audits, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized modification.

This includes securing the algorithms, the data used to train them, and the presently running infrastructure. Telecom companies must ensure that renowned vendors with robust security practices create AI algorithms for their use. Additionally, the data should be vetted carefully, and it should be used to train AI models so that they are free from vulnerabilities and any kinds of biases. The AI systems' infrastructure should be secure and hardened to fight potential attacks.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is one such powerful method that AI can further enhance. AI can dynamically adjust authentication requirements for MFA depending on user behavior, location, and device. AI can be utilized to authenticate users through facial or voice recognition. Moreover, with the help of AI, telecom companies can find anomalies in login attempts, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
