The Role of Cognitive-Information Technologies in Cybersecurity: Threat Detection and Adaptive Defense Systems

Abstract

The research delves into the influence of machine learning and artificial intelligence advancements on cybersecurity within software-oriented systems. The author thoroughly examines the modeling of cognitive-information technologies and their ramifications on data analysis, training processes, and decision-making within these systems. Special emphasis is placed on identifying cybersecurity threats faced by artificial intelligence systems, such as susceptibility to cyberattacks. The study proposes adaptive defense components, including behavioral biometrics analysis, automated incident response, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), and vulnerability management, to address these threats. These components are underscored in the development of cybersecurity strategies in the contemporary digital environment, crucial for protecting sensitive data and infrastructure. Methodologically, the research involves analyzing existing cybersecurity threats and their impact on artificial intelligence systems, employing data analytics and modeling techniques tailored to information technologies. It also evaluates contemporary methods of adaptive cybersecurity. Key findings of the study not only identify cybersecurity threats to artificial intelligence systems but also propose adaptive defense components for effective mitigation. The research innovatively examines the influence of cognitive information technologies on cybersecurity strategies, offering novel approaches to safeguard data and infrastructure in the modern digital landscape. Additionally, the study highlights examples such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), image and video recognition, predictive analytics, and virtual assistants, which are integral to understanding the breadth of applications of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. The author significantly contributes through a systematic analysis of diverse threats, culminating in comprehensive recommendations for cybersecurity. Furthermore, the study identifies future prospects for cybersecurity amidst evolving cyber threats, paving the way for further research and development in the field and enhancing understanding and ensuring security in the digital realm.
