The Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity

EasyChair Preprint 14095

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about significant changes in various industries, including cybersecurity. This paper aims to explore the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, analyzing the potential benefits and challenges that arise from this convergence.

The paper begins by examining how AI can enhance cybersecurity measures through its ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time. AI-powered systems can detect and respond to cyber threats more efficiently, enabling organizations to proactively protect their sensitive information and networks.

However, the integration of AI in cybersecurity also poses potential risks. Adversarial attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in AI algorithms can undermine the efficacy of AI-based security systems. Moreover, the reliance on AI may lead to a false sense of security, as no system is immune to vulnerabilities and human error.

To address these challenges, organizations need to adopt a multi-faceted approach to cybersecurity that combines AI-driven technologies with human expertise. This symbiotic relationship between AI and human intelligence can enhance the effectiveness of cybersecurity defenses, providing organizations with a holistic defense strategy.

The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of ongoing research and development in this field. As AI continues to evolve, so too must cybersecurity practices. By staying vigilant and adaptable, organizations can harness the power of AI while mitigating its potential risks, ensuring a resilient and secure digital environment.
