AI for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience

This chapter explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to enhance the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure. Society is becoming increasingly dependent on interconnected systems, which makes critical infrastructure more vulnerable to cyber threats and other risks. In this chapter, AI technologies are strategically integrated to fortify critical infrastructure against potential disruptions. Using machine learning and predictive analytics, it discusses advanced AI algorithms for threat detection, risk assessment, and adaptive response mechanisms. The chapter also discusses how AI can enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated response systems to build resilient infrastructure. A comprehensive review of case studies and emerging technologies provides valuable insights into how AI can be used to safeguard critical infrastructure in the face of dynamic challenges and evolving threats.
