CYBER INTELLIGENCE AIDS A NEW LAYER OF DEFENSE

Cybercrimes have relatively increased in recent years and it is fast evolving using artificial intelligence playing a key role in this exponential growth. The impact of AI on cybersecurity is having two folds: One hand Cyber criminals are using AI to conduct more sophisticated cyber-attacks. On the other hand, it is helping to build a strong cyber defense mechanism. Enabling predicting threats from possible attackers with greater speed and precision than ever before. Artificial Intelligence enables cyber criminals and hackers to exploit vulnerabilities more effectively to avoid detection, execute more sophisticated attacks and scale their operations. Artificial Intelligence in social engineering had made a significant increase in psychological manipulation and deception to obtain sensitive information or assets from their targets. Even though using AI driven cyber threats has increased, AI still plays a crucial role for improving cyber security significantly. Advanced machine learning powers for threat hunting and AI technologies can help to detect and respond to threats with greater accuracy and speed than traditional measures. In this paper given a brief overview on various cyber intelligence aids where AI is integrated for threat intelligence using machine learning to identify and predict malicious threats. This shifts the network from security posture from reactive to preemptive.
