What is an AI-driven network and how does it help security?

Managing a modern network is becoming more difficult for many organizations. As businesses add more devices, locations, and cloud-based tools, RUCKUS has developed software that brings artificial intelligence-powered help, allowing IT teams to respond quickly to potential cyber incidents.

RUCKUS One is a converged network management solution for Wi-Fi networks and network switches. This software platform combines security, device management, network assurance, and more to provide detailed insights for organizations.

What is an AI-driven network?

AI-driven networks automate information to allow organizations to predict issues and detect changes in networks to prevent downtime. Every second that an organization’s network is down is lost revenue and creates safety risk.

Don’t rely on reactive, manual troubleshooting, such as reporting an issue to IT and waiting for them to identify the cause of a network outage. Instead, let AI detect unusual activity and report it before a no-internet symbol pops up.

How do they improve security?

Security is another growing priority as organizations support more users and connected devices. Just like with troubleshooting, AI can scan networks for vulnerabilities and weaknesses, helping IT teams prepare security patches faster.

AI-driven networks also help reduce human error by automatically applying security rules, such as who can connect to the network and what they can access. Instead of updating every device one at a time, IT teams can manage security for the whole network from one place.

Is it right for my business?

Even smaller IT teams can benefit from AI-driven management tools that provide quick answers and easily accessible information. Software like RUCKUS One can be tailored to the size of an organization.

Cloud-managed networking also gives businesses greater flexibility as they grow. Network software is not limited or does not require major upgrades. Instead, converged network solutions allow businesses to see what they need now and adapt as needs change over time.
