An Extensive Investigation Into Guardians Of The Digital Realm: Ai-Driven Antivirus And Cyber Threat Intelligence

Abstract

This paper takes an in-depth look into the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) antivirus and cyber threat intelligence tools to maintain security in the digital environment against the growing cyber threats. Cyber-attacks have become more potent and widespread in the digital space. The traditional cyber security approaches, many times, are unable to provide sufficient protection to digital assets and the infrastructure. The facade of mounting risks paves way for artificial intelligence (AI) as one of the foremost tools that can be used to reinforce cybersecurity. AI-based antivirus services and AI-based cyber threat intelligence platforms use machine learning algorithms and big data analysis to detect, analyze, and neutralize cybersecurity threats as soon as possible. An extensive review and study of the existing literature and research are made in this paper in which the capabilities and limitations of the AI-driven cybersecurity solutions are explored, and the discussed solutions are argued to be able to efficiently handle a wide variety of cyber threats, including malware, phishing attacks, and advanced persistent attack (APTs). The paper assesses the implications of AI- based cybersecurity for national security, public interests, and personal privacy and stresses the role of preventative approach in dealing with the emerging cyber threats and defense of the digital ecosystem.
