New Blog Series Highlights Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools, Tactics
March 2, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform business operations across all sectors. Our training platform provider, Breach Secure Now, created an insightful "AI Nano Recap" through their PII Protect program, showcasing several key AI tools and applications that are essential to understand. We will share these recaps and infographics along with some context and insights.
What Are Nanos?
Nanos are short, focused training modules designed to provide quick and effective learning on specific topics. They are typically concise, making it easier for learners to grasp key concepts and skills in a short amount of time. These types of modules are often used in professional development programs to ensure employees can quickly update their knowledge and stay current with industry trends and best practices. These digestible pieces of knowledge make complex technical concepts more accessible and applicable to everyday business operations and cybersecurity practices.

Nano 1: Perplexity - The AI Search Revolution
The first highlighted tool is Perplexity, a free AI search engine designed to provide real-time, accurate, verifiable, and easy-to-understand answers. Unlike traditional search engines that return multiple results requiring manual sorting, Perplexity:
- Finds and summarizes content from the web into comprehensive answers
- Pulls data from the internet in real-time, ensuring information is current
- Provides sources with every answer for easy fact-checking
- Excels at research tasks, answering everyday questions, exploring new topics, and discovering information
This tool represents a significant advancement in how we access and process information online, potentially streamlining research processes for cybersecurity professionals.
Nano 2: AI for Fraud Detection
The infographic highlights how AI is revolutionizing fraud detection across various sectors including finance, retail, health care, e-commerce, and government. Key points include:
- Machine learning and deep learning algorithms can analyze vast datasets to recognize patterns
- AI systems can proactively predict and prevent fraudulent activity before it happens
- Applications include detecting anomalies, assigning risk scores to transactions, analyzing text for fraud indicators, uncovering fraudulent networks, and verifying identities
For cybersecurity professionals, these capabilities represent powerful additions to existing security frameworks, potentially reducing false positives while increasing detection rates of sophisticated fraud attempts.
Nano 3: AI Can Liberate Workers
The third Nano focuses on AI's potential to transform the workplace. As quoted from Michael Platt, Neuroscientist & Professor: "AI can help liberate workers from menial work and enable innovation and creativity to flourish."
This perspective highlights the positive potential of AI when implemented thoughtfully—freeing human talent from repetitive tasks and redirecting it toward higher-value creative and strategic thinking. For cybersecurity teams often overwhelmed with alerts and routine checks, this could mean more time for threat hunting and security architecture improvements.
Nano 4: Image Recognition
The final Nano discusses how AI chatbots can decipher images to provide information, answer questions, and more. This capability has significant implications for documenting security incidents, analyzing potential threats in images, and enhancing security documentation processes.
Embracing AI in Business Operations
As we kick off this blog series on AI tools and applications, it's evident that understanding these technologies is essential for business leaders across all sectors. Each of these AI Nanos offers an opportunity to enhance operational efficiency, drive innovation, and safeguard valuable data. In upcoming posts, we'll delve into specific AI applications, practical implementation strategies, and how to leverage these tools while maintaining proper governance and ethical considerations.
Stay tuned as we continue to explore how AI can be harnessed to boost productivity and fortify your business operations.
