Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity interact in complex ways, with AI potentially significantly enhancing cybersecurity protocols. With a balanced understanding of AI's role in cybersecurity, its historical development, and practical manifestations, actionable recommendations can be formulated to effectively harness AI in a business environment. Throughout history, AI has often been conflated with science fiction, fostering misconceptions of sentient robots and superintelligent systems that could potentially outsmart or threaten humanity. AI is leading an extraordinary revolution within the domain of cyber defense. Integrating AI into cybersecurity solutions is already disrupting the cybersecurity product landscape. Some traditional cybersecurity solutions may become obsolete in the face of advanced AI technologies, urging organizations to embrace adaptability and foster a culture of continuous learning to thrive in this fluctuating landscape. The chapter finally presents a case study of embracing AI in Cybersecurity at FuturaTech.
