ENHANCING ORGANIZATIONAL CYBERSECURITY THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Аннотация

Without substantial automation, individuals cannot manage the complexity of operations and the scale of information to be utilized to secure cyberspace. Nonetheless, technology and software with traditional fixed implementations are difficult to build (hardwired decision-making logic) in order to successfully safeguard against security threats. This condition can be dealt with using machine simplicity and learning methods in AI. This paper provides a concise overview of AI implementations of various cybersecurity using artificial technologies and evaluates the prospects for expanding the cybersecurity capabilities by enhancing the defence mechanism. INTRODUCTION 1.2. Security Policies and Procedures. In today's digital age, organizations face an Establishing and enforcing security policies increasing number of sophisticated cyber threats that and procedures is crucial for threat prevention. This can jeopardize their sensitive data, operations, and includes defining access controls, password policies, reputation. As technology advances, so do the methods data encryption, and other security measures to protect employed by cybercriminals. To counter these sensitive information and systems. evolving threats, organizations are turning to artificial 1.3. Network Security. intelligence (AI) to bolster their cybersecurity efforts.
