Due to the expansion of the internet of things and connected devices, cyber security professionals in the modern digital world face a significant number of challenges. Experts require all available resources in order to both respond to attacks and prevent further security breaches. Due to factors such as heavy traffic, an increase in the number of security attack vectors, security vulnerabilities, and many others, the number of connected workplaces renders it impossible for humans to govern cyberspace without significant automation. However, designing software systems with conventionally mounted algorithms (decision-making logic that is hardwired) can be difficult. These algorithms are necessary to provide an effective defence against the growing number of network hazards. It is now common knowledge that adopting problem-solving strategies based on artificial intelligence is the key to effectively addressing the vast majority of cyber security issues currently being addressed. This article provides a concise analysis of cyber security applications for computers. In addition, it investigates the perspectives on how to enhance cyber security capabilities by providing applications that utilise artificial intelligence, in addition to the current methods.
