ABSTRACT
in ihe era of technologv. the hyper-connected workplaces and the growth of cloud and mobile
echnologies connected device has created a lot of issue in the cyber security. The threat to a
biusiness increases if it has data flowing from different sources. As the data is exposed to more
maware and a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) an attack. Network systems security is also a
matter of concern for businesses. There are threats to networks that have become nore common,
hacks have become more complex, and
they are no longer just a concern for large organizations.
he tratfic on the network needs to consistently monitored, inspected and co-related.Traditional
methods to cyber security threats and detect malware are
failing. Cyber criminals are constanthy
coming up with new ways to bypass firewalls and become a threat to an organization's security.
The only way to fight it out is to be more
prepared and smarter than the hackers. Developing
a
sofiware system with standard logic for effectively defending against the growing cyber attacks is
however difficult. The organizations are spending close to S100 billion on a dizzying array of
securiy products. However, the convenience and automation loT affords means it isn't an
ephemeral trend. Businesses need to look to new technologies, like AI, to effectively protect their
customers as they broaden their perimeter.

INTRODUCTION
Hyper-connected workplaces and the growth of cloud and mobile technologies have sparked a
chain reaction when it comes to security risks. The vast volume of
connected devices feeding into
networks provides a dream scenario for cyber criminals new and

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The next generation cybersecurity products is increasingly incorporating Artificial

The o of artificial intelligence (Al) can be traced all the way back to World
War II, when a
am of British cryptographers developed what came to be the world's first
Aat used mathematical reasoning to decrypt polymorphic codes transmitted computer, a machine

estimated that this innovation shortened the war by two tobyfour

the Axis powers.

years, saving
hetween 14 and 21 million lives. This was followed up by the birth of computer science as a field
af study in the 1950's, originally meant to simplify and automate human
ofmanagement big
data. With the evolution of technology and the rise of the internet, Al has been used
to help information security teams to fight cyber crime. increasingly
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of
intelligent machines that work and reacts like humans. Some of the activities computers with
artificial intelligence are designed for include:

Speech Recognition
Learming
Planning
Problem solving
Artificial intelligence is a science field that is interested in finding solutions to complex problems
ike humans does. A decision mechanism that is similar to a real human decision mechanism is
tried to be modeled with some algorithms. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a result of a software that
tries to create a decision mechanism similar to human brain's decision mechanism.

The purpose of Al applications is to solve something that an expert spends a certain t1me on, in a
very short time. For instance, think about a doctor who is an expert on cancer, the process of his
detecting the cancer cells can be modelled with an artificial intelligence technique. The model
that we get can always detect the cancer cells just as well as the doctor does. Besides, the
developed software can be used by everyone;, Hospitals that don't have specialist doctors in this
area can also do(make) successful detection.
Above all, every problem that requires experts-as long as we have the appropriate data- can
be modelled by using artificial intelligence techniques. Data that is fit to the problem means the
data that has the features of that specific problem. For example, for the detection of cancer celi,
cell's size, its growing speed, the enzymes that it secretes, its rate of mutation, etc., this kind of
distinctive features need to be collected. If the features that are related to the problem can be
collected, the problem can be solved by using machine learning techniques.
Artificial intelligence is the new golden ring for cybersecurity developers, thanks to its potential
to not just automate functions at scale but also to make contextual decisions based on what it
leams over time. This can have big implications for security personnel-all too often,

companies simply don't have the resources to search through the haystack of anomalies for the
proverbial malicious needle.
