Machine learning could be used to bypass and dismantle cyber-security systems faster than most prevention and detection tools can keep up. AI will exacerbate existing threats and create new ones, but its speed could prove a great boon for cybercriminals, as it is much more effective at fighting them than human experts. The algorithm is attempted to model a decision mechanism that resembles real human decision mechanisms but is modeled by algorithms.

In the context of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) tries to defend the system by weighing patterns of behavior that indicate a threat against predictive logic. Machine learning (ML) is the process by which AI learns patterns that lead to bad behavior. This happens when an AI system or neural network is tricked into incorrectly identifying or intentionally modifying the input.

In the last 12–18 months, the number of applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity has increased massively and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. This is partly due to the rising costs of developing and adapting the…
