A eas Whe e AI Can Be Used in Cybe
Secu i y:
1. Anomaly De ec ion:

2. SOC Team Suppo :
When aced wi h as olumes o da a,
human analys s may be slowe o spo any

Combining he s eng h o AI and cybe

Key AI Technologies in Cybe Secu i y
1. Machine Lea ning (ML):

examines pa e ns and beha io s o iden i y
h ea s, is a common use o machine lea ning
in cybe secu i y.
2. Deep Lea ning:
A subse o machine lea ning called
deep lea ning analyzes complica ed da a using

in cybe secu i y o iden i y polymo phic

3. Neu al Ne wo ks:
AI models called neu al ne wo ks a e
modeled a e he a chi ec u e o he human

4. La ge Language Models (LLMs):
GPT-4 and o he la ge language
models (LLMs) a e impo an AI ools in
cybe secu i y. LLMs a e e y help ul o

Conclusion:
AI is quickly ans o ming he ield o

While being mind ul o he e hical

Any company should implemen a
