Abstract

Cybersecurity is very crucial in the digital age in order to safeguard the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of data and systems. Mitigation techniques used in the industry include Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), Incident Response Planning (IRP), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Signature-based and Heuristic Detection.

MFA is employed as an additional layer of protection in several sectors to help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. IRP is a plan in place to address cybersecurity problems efficiently and expeditiously. SIEM offers real-time analysis and alerts the system of threats and vulnerabilities. Heuristic-based detection relies on detecting anomalies when it comes to the behavior of files and domains, whereas signature-based detection uses predefined malware codes and known signatures to help identify malware.

Artificial intelligence along with machine learning could enhance cyber detection and response by utilizing a vast amount of data and algorithms to help identify trends, make predictions, and take actions without human supervision. This paper discusses how this proposal can be accomplished and could help defeat malware.
