The role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing cybersecurity: A comprehensive review of threat detection, response, and prevention techniques

Abstract

As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, traditional cybersecurity solutions have become increasingly insufficient to mitigate evolving risks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing cybersecurity by improving threat detection, automating response mechanisms, and preventing attacks before they occur. This review explores the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, focusing on AI-driven techniques in threat detection, automated response systems, and preventive measures. Furthermore, the paper discusses the challenges of deploying AI in cybersecurity, including adversarial attacks and ethical considerations, and provides future directions for research.
