Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence AI in cybersecurity makes use of AI to revolutionize cybersecurity in enhancing threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management. AI refers to computing systems that can perform tasks which normally require human intelligence – such as pattern recognition, learning from data, and decision making. However, in cybersecurity, AI systems especially machine learning and deep learning models analyze massive data, detect threats, and respond faster than traditional rule based systems. AI is transforming cybersecurity by enabling 1. Faster, scalable threat detection, 2. Automated responses, and 3. Predictive threat intelligence. This as well introduces new challenges. This paper presents the usefulness, the various challenges cum solutions, and the benefits of AI in cybersecurity to humanity. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.
