AI is transforming cybersecurity by enabling both sophisticated attacks and advanced defenses. Attackers use AI for personalized phishing, automated vulnerability discovery, and self-mutating malware. Defenders counter with behavioral analysis, threat intelligence, and automated incident response. The article presents implementation strategies across three phases, emphasizes the continued importance of human expertise alongside AI tools, and addresses ethical considerations. Statistics show AI-enhanced detection achieves 89% success rates while reducing false positives by 74%, though attackers adapt 2.3x faster with AI assistance.
