Introduction: With the expanding reliance on digital technology across various sectors, cybersecurity has become an urgent necessity to protect sensitive data and information from increasingly complex cyberattacks. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing cybersecurity, due to its ability to analyze vast amounts of data quickly, recognize suspicious patterns, and predict potential threats before they occur. Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Technologies: AI-enabled cybersecurity relies on a range of modern technologies, including: Machine Learning: to analyze user behavior patterns and detect anomalies or potential attacks. Deep Learning: to identify complex attacks such as advanced malware. Predictive Analytics: to anticipate future attacks and plan preemptive measures. Automated Response Systems: to take immediate action when potential threats are detected, reducing their impact. Benefits of Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Early Threat Detection: thanks to its ability to analyze large datasets at high speed. Reduction of Human Error: by minimizing reliance on manual system monitoring. Improved Attack Response: through rapid and effective activation of preventive measures. Cost Efficiency: by reducing the need for large teams to continuously monitor networks. Challenges and Considerations: Despite its benefits, using AI in cybersecurity faces some challenges, such as: Attackers may exploit AI technologies themselves to carry out more advanced attacks. The need for accurate and large datasets to effectively train AI systems. Legal and ethical considerations related to monitoring users’ data. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence is considered a cornerstone in modern cybersecurity, providing advanced tools to detect and respond to attacks quickly and efficiently, thereby protecting both individuals and institutions. With ongoing technological advancements, AI is expected to become an essential component of any comprehensive digital security strategy.
