Abstract

The growing technology is making it harder and harder day by day to resolve the threat faced in cyberspace. The rising complexity and occurrence of cyber attacks make it inescapable to design protective solutions for juicy data and life-or-death systems. In recent years Synthetic intelligence (SI) has become powerful as a network security tool with high potential of threat detection, mitigation and response. In this research paper, we look at the applications, pros, cons and future of Synthetic intelligence that one should employ for the betterment of network security. This paper delves into the progression of Synthetic intelligence used in defending cyber attacks and advancing developments towards robust support.

Keywords

Cybersecurity, Machine Learning, Network Security, Predictive Analytics, Synthetic Intelligence, Threat Detection.
