The Impact of AI on Cybersecurity: A New Paradigm for Threat Management

Abstract

In today's data-driven world, the protection of data against cyberattacks is paramount. While traditional cybersecurity measures have focused on safeguarding networks, software, and hardware, the rapidly evolving threat landscape has outpaced these conventional methods. Traditional algorithms and defensive tactics have proven insufficient against modern cyber threats. As a result, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in enhancing cybersecurity. AI's integration into intrusion detection systems has become increasingly critical due to the relentless influx of new and sophisticated attacks. AI is revolutionizing how organizations defend against cyberattacks by enabling quicker decision-making and more robust defense mechanisms. This paper explores the growing importance of AI in cybersecurity, highlighting its role in behavioral analysis, intrusion detection, and incident response. Additionally, the paper examines the ethical considerations associated with AI in cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for human oversight and the mitigation of potential biases. By leveraging AI, organizations can achieve more precise identification and prevention of malicious activities, ultimately enhancing the overall security posture.
