The Future of Cybersecurity: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Combat Evolving Threats and Enhance Digital Defense Strategies

Abstract

Introduction: This research focuses on how artificial intelligence can identify and prevent and counter criminal activities in real time as cybercrime. New opportunities emerge in the further use of artificial intelligence in the fight against computer threats in the future. It emerges in the whole world. The digital space grows even broader as an indispensable means for increasing the efficiency of cybersecurity protective measures. Logical and physical security of the crucial infrastructure, commercial companies, customers, and citizens of the United States require the integration of artificial intelligence into protective strategies for the digital environment.

Methodology: The research of this paper focuses on the effectiveness of AI on the defense of cybersecurity using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research triage. In order to determine the level of AI solutions implementation and their efficiency. Government, financial, and telecom, among other industries in the cybersecurity field, responded to a poll question through an online platform providing qualitative data. Current problems are discussed with the help of literature reviews, interviews, and online platforms with important specialists in cybersecurity. Artificial intelligence to understand both current situations and tendencies in the future. The online survey data collected and statistical analysis is made to identify correlations between the use of AI solutions and the decrease in security threats.

Conclusion: It is an important tool that serves to strengthen the positions of the world cybersecurity system due to the acceleration of its response to threats and the strengthening of prediction skills. The emerging need for higher-level AI skills and data protection issues. This leads the study to the conclusion that while there are significant opportunities in artificial intelligence. The optimization of these opportunities requires yearly spending on AI, skilled human capital, and rules that are unique to the French cybersecurity context.
