Abstract:
The trend of increasing attacks on information systems is gaining momentum globally. Traditional means of counteracting cyberattacks are currently unable to withstand the current situation. Therefore, AI-based technologies are seen as an effective solution to the problem. The study aims to provide a comprehensive substantiation of applying artificial intelligence tools in the cybersecurity system to automate the protection and timely detection of threats. The research was carried out using general scientific methods of cognition: logical and structural analysis, induction and deduction, comparison, abstraction, specification, generalization, and formalization. The article proves that AI technologies allow the implementation of highly effective solutions, efficiently and quickly identify cyberattacks, choose the optimal response to security incidents, assess their consequences, and determine the way to respond in a real-time manner. It is established that artificial intelligence systems play a key role in improving information security protocols while eliminating the risks of the human factor. The authors considered the main types of AI technologies used in the cybersecurity system. The paper emphasizes the high efficiency of decision-making with the help of artificial intelligence technologies in terms of threat identification, risk prevention, and protection automation. The authors have highlighted the risks and challenges of using artificial intelligence in information security systems. It is proved that the use of AI capabilities in cybersecurity actualizes the strategy of the concept of integrated formation of effective counteractions to external and internal threats. The practical value of research findings lies in the possibility of their use when actualizing the role of AI technologies in the formation of an effective cybersecurity system, given their apparent advantages and possible shortcomings.
Highlights
- Artificial intelligence has become an indispensable force in bolstering information security, with its ability to effectively analyze and identify threats, transforming the landscape of digital security protocols.
- The integration of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity not only enhances threat detection, incident response, and preventive measures but also presents challenges such as the potential misuse of AI by cybercriminals, highlighting the critical need for ongoing research and innovation in the field.
