CHAPTER 12How Artificial Intelligence Can Help Cybersecurity

In our interconnected ecosystem, artificial intelligence (AI), to put it simply, is a potent accelerator and enabler for cybersecurity. AI systems emulate human traits and computational capacities in a computer to surpass human speed and limitations. Regarding cybersecurity, AI machine learning (ML) offers the quickest means of detecting novel assaults, deriving statistical conclusions, and delivering that data to endpoint protection platforms. Real-time reports on deviations and abnormalities can be obtained from network monitoring and horizon scanning. It enables continuous diagnostic and forensics analysis for optimal cybersecurity as well as automatic updating of defense framework layers (firewalls, payload, endpoint, network, and antivirus).

The following is a breakdown of how AI functionally assists in cybersecurity.

AI algorithms can help make decisions more effectively by prioritizing and acting on data, especially in larger networks with more users and variables. The ability to locate, categorize, and combine data is a valuable ability for lowering cybersecurity threats.

Generative AI–powered technologies can also enable developers to write secure code faster. Thanks to new AI tools, platforms, and technologies, developers are already developing more secure code from the start; this also makes it simpler to repair issues as they come up.

AI and ML applications in the fields of threat intelligence and network ...
