Application of Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity

Abstract

Cybersecurity is the knowledge and practice of defending computers, mobile devices, servers, electronic devices, networks, and precious data from malicious attacks. Traditional security methods have advantages in various ways, but they may sometimes seem to be ineffective due to lack of intelligence and vitality to meet the current diverse needs of the network industry thus latest techniques need to be developed to handle these threats. The developments in Artificial intelligent (AI) techniques have simplified life by providing efficient solutions in different domains including cyber security. This chapter has reviewed existing tools of cyber security, highlighting different ways artificial intelligence can be applied in providing Cybersecurity solutions. AI-based security systems make decisions for helping people, it is particularly worrying that these systems do not currently have any moral code thus current chapter also highlights the need to ethical code in providing AI solution for cyber security.
