Abstract:

The impact of artificial intelligence on product and service development across various sectors, including businesses and organizations, is transformative. Extensive studies have demonstrated the versatility of AI technology in improving numerous aspects of daily life, leading to its widespread adoption across industries. With countless applications, AI integration has become indispensable, particularly in enhancing security measures and mitigating risks amid the escalating frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks. This paper provides a comprehensive review of existing literature on the diverse applications of AI in cybersecurity, spanning from malware analysis and threat detection to access control and authentication mechanisms. The field of cybersecurity has expanded as a result of efforts to safeguard the information that is now available, and AI is thought to have a significant impact on cybersecurity overall. Machine learning has been heavily influenced by this factor in contemporary cybersecurity-supporting technologies. In addition to reviewing the literature, the study report looks at artificial intelligence's overall effects and challenges in cybersecurity.
