Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity

	Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity Introduction: The hottest topic in Information Technology (February 2024) is Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. We cannot agree more but, sadly there is a vagueness when answering the following:        1. What is AI Cybersecurity?        2. How to use AI Cybersecurity?        3. How hackers use AI Cybersecurity to perform their job? Our goal in this page is to try to answer these questions and take out all the vagueness and the hype. The following are taken from the internet definitions (including AI Cybersecurity companies' websites) of what is AI Cybersecurity? What is the new role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity? AI has several applications in enhancing cybersecurity, such as providing organizations with up-to-date information on hardware and software usage, behavior, and performance through IT asset inventory. This data can help identify potential vulnerabilities and improve security measures. AI in cybersecurity is the process of analyzing numerous quantities of risk data and the relationship between threats in your enterprise information systems to identify new types of attacks. AI security solutions leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze network traffic, user behavior, and system logs to detect patterns and anomalies associated with known or unknown threats. AI can analyze these threats far faster than human security administrators. How can AI be used in cybersecurity? AI-powered solutions can sift through vast amounts of data to identify abnormal behavior and detect malicious activity, such as a new zero-day attack. AI can also automate many security processes, such as patch management, making staying on top of your cyber security needs easier. Which types of AI applications are being used in cybersecurity solutions? Five Latest Applications of AI in Cybersecurity        Use Case 1: Threat Identification and Prevention. ...        Use Case 2: Breach Risk Prediction. ...        Use Case 3: Automation of Security Operations. ...        Use Case 4: Knowledge Consolidation. ...        Use Case 5: Vulnerability Assessment and Advanced Risk Mitigation. ...        Build customer trust. Our Views: What is AI Cybersecurity? Looking at all the internet definitions of what is AI Cybersecurity? We can say with confidence: AI Cybersecurity is the automation of all the Cybersecurity processes which would cover detections, prevention, remedy and training humans. How to use AI Cybersecurity? How can AI add intelligence to their Cybersecurity’s processes and procedures? We cannot answer such question without running or looking at their actual results of AI Cybersecurity companies' tools. We have our own Machine Learning Cybersecurity approaches, tools, processes, and testing. We do recommend that readers check both our ML and DevOps pages in this presentation. Our focus is on Hackers Using AI How hackers use AI Cybersecurity to perform their job? Our focus in this page is:        How hackers use AI in their attack? With the same logic for AI in security, also hackers can use AI to automate their hacking job plus understand and overcome or defeat detections, prevention, remedy and human behavior. Automated Attacks: Hackers utilize AI algorithms to automate attacks, increasing speed, scalability, and sophistication. Phishing and Social Engineering: AI-powered tools analyze vast amounts of data to create personalized phishing emails, messages, and chatbots, making scams more convincing. How is AI used in cyber security? AI-powered network monitoring tools can track user behavior, detect anomalies, and react accordingly. These technologies can stop threats in real-time without interfering with business processes and can track data that escapes human sight, such as videos, chats, emails, and other communications We would to add the following points:        • AI can be used to automate the development of code to hack any level or tiers within a running system.        • Create CRM system for better ways to con humans.        • AI can be used monitor the internet routing and figure how to jam any running cloud system        • AI technologies are unique in that they acquire knowledge and intelligence to adapt accordingly        • ML can be used to learn and create ways to attack more intelligently
