Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security: Review


Paper on Current Challenges Faced by the Industry
Tarun Grover1, Dr. Harmeet Malhotra2

Abstract: In the dynamic realm of cyber security, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potent tool for safeguarding systems and
data from ever - evolving threats. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, and
cybersecurity is no exception. The ever - evolving landscape of cyber threats necessitates the adoption of sophisticated defense
mechanisms. AI's ability to analyse vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and adapt to evolving threats offers immense potential to
enhance cybersecurity measures. However, the integration of AI into cybersecurity practices is not without its challenges. This paper
provides a concise overview of role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity, addressing current challenges and proposing future
directions for enhancing the effectiveness of AI in protecting digital assets. The paper examines the application of AI in - depth,
discusses its pivotal role in cyber security, analyses existing challenges faced by AI - powered cybersecurity systems, and outlines
potential future directions for research and development.

Keywords: Cyber security, Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence
