A Survey on Cyber Security Meets Artificial Intelligence: AI– Driven Cyber Security

Abstract

The computerized version of human intelligence is Artificial Intelligence(AI). Artificial Intelligence systems combine large sets of data with intelligent and iterative processing algorithms in order to make predictions, based on patterns and features in the data that they analyse. With the booming technologies such as IOT and Cloud Computing, huge amounts of data are generated and collected that require cyber security protection today. There is a growing need for cyber security methods which are both robust and intelligent due to the ever-increasing complexity of cyber crimes. While data can be used to benefit business interests, it poses a number of challenges in terms of security and privacy protection. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technologies, such as machine learning statistics, big data analysis, deep learning and so on, have been used to deal with cyber security threats. These technologies are used for intrusion detection systems, malicious software detection, and encrypted communications. In the rapidly growing field of AI driven security, scientists from multiple disciplines work together to combat cyber threats. AI models require unique cyber security defence and protection technologies. This survey provides various method, different datasets and methodologies that may be used for the proposed IA enabled cyber security technologies. This study aims to classify the AI-based cyber security solutions gathered and describe how they can help solve problems in the field of cyber security.
