In today’s digital world, cyber threats are evolving at a rapid pace. This session explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of cybersecurity by enhancing the detection, prevention, and response to cyber threats. I’ll begin by understanding the basics of cybersecurity and its growing importance, followed by an overview of AI's role in this domain. Attendees will gain insights into how AI is utilized for real-time threat detection, enabling proactive security measures. I’ll introduce Wireshark, a popular network analysis tool, to demonstrate how network data is captured and preprocessed for AI models focused on anomaly detection. This demonstration will show the types of data AI relies on, such as IP addresses, protocols, and packet sizes, to detect unusual patterns that may indicate security threats.
