Peculiarities of using artificial intelligence in cybersecurity

Abstract

Abstract. The ever-increasing complexity of technology, which is intensified by widespread dependence on the Internet, creates a favourable environment for the emergence of new cyber threats. In this regard, the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of human activity is becoming crucial. In the field of computer science, artificial intelligence refers to machines endowed with the ability to perform tasks that traditionally require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence algorithms demonstrate the ability to identify basic patterns in huge amounts of data, thereby increasing their operational efficiency over time [1]. It is worth noting that in the field of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence is becoming a powerful tool for strengthening defences against ever-changing threats. Its ability to quickly analyse complex patterns in huge amounts of data allows for effective detection of anomalies and identification of potential breaches. Such predictive skills minimise the impact of cyberattacks. In addition, the emergence of neural network models based on the principles of the human brain has significantly expanded the possibilities of cybersecurity. These models demonstrate exceptional learning abilities, adapting to the changing threat environment and improving their strategies over time. The combination of AI and machine learning methodologies has accelerated the paradigm shift in proactive threat detection and neutralisation.
