Using Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security Risk Management for Telecom Industry 4.0
Ijeoma Ebere-Uneze, Syed Naqvi · 2024
The intensity and sophistication of cyberattacks have informed the need for artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for cyber security risk management (CSRM). We have studied the impact of using AI for CSRM in Telecommunication Industry 4.0 (TI4.0). This case study is used to develop an AI-enabled approach for enhanced protection of TI4.0. The services and the infrastructure provided by the TI4.0 are characterized by complexities due to the rapid evolution of associated technologies. This has continued to increase the attack surface and expose the industry to more cyber security risks. This article shows how the use of AI impacts CSRM in the TI4.0. Our work provides insights into the application of AI in mitigating cyber security risks. We have found that AI can enhance CSRM and, its effectiveness is determined by the quality of data that it was trained with; the training it received as well as the security of the AI solution.
