Cybersecurity has become one of the most critical concerns for individuals, businesses, and governments. Traditional security measures often fall short as cyber threats grow in sophistication and volume. This is where Artificial Intelligence steps in as a game-changer, transforming how we detect, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks.
The article discusses the importance of AI in cybersecurity, emphasizing its ability to transform traditional security practices by enhancing anomaly detection. It explores various cybersecurity threats, the significance of anomaly detection, and how to build a Cybersecurity AI Agent using the Isolation Forest algorithm. The description includes step-by-step instructions on setting up an AI agent, creating tools for anomaly detection, and addressing false positives, culminating in a practical guide to running the agent which improves detection efficiency while maintaining data privacy.
