ABSTRACT

Creating models and methods that will enable computer systems to replicate human intellect is the aim of the computer science field of artificial intelligence (AI). That’s why cybersecurity is getting more and more crucial. Preventing data breaches, financial losses, and privacy violations requires effective network security and information security. This clarifies the growing significance of cybersecurity. Preventing financial losses, privacy violations. Instantaneous analysis and prioritization of alarms are possible with AI-powered systems, enabling quick decision-making and proactive threat containment. AI improves the effectiveness of security teams by automating repetitive operations, allowing them to devote more time to strategic threat identification and vulnerability analysis. AI-generated real-time threat intelligence enables enterprises to anticipate possible weaknesses and proactively strengthen their defenses, providing a strong security posture. However, the symbiotic relationship between AI and cybersecurity is with challenges. Adversaries may be able to leverage AI algorithms for their own advantage or launch attacks that bypass AI-based defenses, demanding a perpetual cycle of innovation and protection. Furthermore, regulation and comprehensive research of the ethical concerns surrounding AI’s participation in autonomous decision-making and privacy violations are required. Finally, the importance of AI in cybersecurity cannot be overstated.
