Significance of Use of Generative AI in Cyber Security
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The purpose of studying the intersection of Generative AI and Cybersecurity is multifaceted andcrucial in our increasingly digital world. Firstly, Generative AI, with its ability to create contentautonomously, presents both opportunities and risks in the realm of cybersecurity. The design ofa study focusing on Generative AI and Cybersecurity would involve several key components tocomprehensively explore the intersection of these two domains. Firstly, it would entail a thoroughliterature review to understand the current state-of-the-art in both Generative AI andCybersecurity. This review would encompass seminal research papers, industry reports, andrelevant publications to provide a foundation for the study. Next, the study would involveempirical research, including experiments and simulations, to assess the vulnerabilities andpotential threats posed by Generative AI systems in the context of cybersecurity. This may involvetesting different types of Generative AI models and analyzing their outputs to identify possibleavenues for exploitation by malicious actors. Additionally, the study would explore the applicationof Generative AI techniques in enhancing cybersecurity defenses. This could involve developingnovel algorithms for threat detection, anomaly detection, or malware analysis using Generative AIapproaches. Furthermore, the study would consider ethical implications and societal impacts ofGenerative AI in cybersecurity, including privacy concerns, implications for misinformation anddisinformation, and potential biases in AI-generated content. One significant finding may highlightthe vulnerabilities of Generative AI systems to adversarial attacks and manipulation. Throughempirical research and experimentation, the study may uncover specific techniques that maliciousactors could employ to exploit these vulnerabilities for nefarious purposes, such as generatingconvincing but fake images, videos, or text to deceive users or bypass security measures.Conversely, the study may also uncover innovative applications of Generative AI in enhancingcybersecurity defenses. For instance, findings may demonstrate how Generative AI techniques canbe leveraged to detect previously unseen malware variants, identify anomalous network behaviourindicative of a cyber-attack, or generate synthetic data for training robust intrusion detectionsystems.
