Cyber Security and AI Frontiers

AI is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity, and the race is accelerating. Cyber Security and AI Frontiers delivers a gripping and practical look into how artificial intelligence is transforming the digital battlefield. Whether you're a security professional, policymaker, or tech-curious reader, this book reveals how cyber attackers are now wielding generative AI for phishing, deepfakes, and ransomware, while defenders counter with AI-powered threat detection, behavioral forensics, and autonomous incident response. Early chapters expose the vulnerabilities of today's large language models, including prompt injection, adversarial machine learning, and AI supply chain risks. Go beyond the headlines and into the architecture of defense. Discover how organizations are redesigning cybersecurity frameworks with AI at the core, reimagining Zero Trust, enabling real-time exposure management, and applying predictive analytics to threat intelligence. You'll explore how continuous verification, explainable AI, and post-quantum cryptography are shaping more resilient systems. Case studies from financial institutions, healthcare, and critical infrastructure bring these concepts to life, showing how AI is already at work protecting (or compromising) today's digital operations. Step into tomorrow's threat landscape. From smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and cloud-native platforms to cyberbiosecurity and space-based systems, the book navigates the unique risks of emerging technologies. Chapters on securing IoT, edge computing, and the convergence of IT and OT systems show the breadth of new attack surfaces. And in a world where identity fraud is powered by deepfakes, learn how AI-based authentication and behavioral biometrics are reshaping digital trust. The final chapters shift from technology to strategy. As nation-state cyberwarfare, ransomware ecosystems, and insider threats evolve, this book delivers insight on AI governance, global regulations, workforce development, and building a collaborative, ethical cybersecurity culture. With a forward-looking analysis of quantum risks, blockchain synergies, and AI-enhanced disaster recovery, Cyber Security and AI Frontiers is your essential guide to staying ahead in an AI-driven security future.
