Amit Kumar Tyagi, Shabanm Kumari, Richa Richa · 2024
Today cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and technology is advancing at a rapid pace, new approaches to cybersecurity and digital forensics are required. Artificial intelligence (AI) has surfaced as a potential game-changer in the fight against these challenges. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role that artificial intelligence plays in cybersecurity and digital forensics. By radically improving threat identification, mitigation, and incident response, technologies powered by artificial intelligence are reshaping cybersecurity. Machine learning and deep learning are some of the approaches being used to sift through massive amounts of data, spot anomalies, and predict when security breaches may occur. In addition, AI-powered solutions are making cybersecurity systems more flexible, which opens the door to proactive defensive mechanisms and real-time threat intelligence. The field of digital forensics is seeing heavy use of artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up investigations and locate digital evidence. Automating the examination of digital artifacts is becoming a reality with the use of artificial intelligence methods like pattern recognition, image identification, and natural language processing. This allows for more efficient and effective investigations. Furthermore, AI-driven instruments are assisting with the restoration of digital crime scenes and the attribution of hack perpetrators. With an emphasis on highlighting the capabilities and limitations of these domains, this book discusses cybersecurity and digital forensics that are based on artificial intelligence. In addition to outlining research directions, new trends, and challenges, the article delves into the ethical and legal issues associated with AI in different industries. To sum up, AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity and digital forensics by laying the groundwork for more robust and proactive protection mechanisms and more efficient and accurate digital investigations.
