The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security

Abstract

Security experts coalesced the strength of artificial intelligence (AI) with cybersecurity to defend vulnerable networks and data from cyber attackers. The propagation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in conjunction with the cyber-attacks are transforming the way the online social media systems are used, automating threat detection, and solving hundreds of attack vectors and attack surfaces. Resources, data sets, and neural fuzzing are the few hindrances that intercept AI from becoming a prevailing security tool. The challenge is to break through the divisional line between the black hat and white hat hackers to regularize technological deployment. Hence, in the current scenario, it is essential to explore how AI can be made use of for basic human needs and for cybersecurity control development. This chapter presents the methods and issues that are still an open challenge for the researchers, engineering managers, and leaders, educators, and students while incorporating artificial intelligence for developing cybersecurity controls.
