AI-Powered Threat Hunting: Using Generative Models to Enhance Proactive Network Security
摘要
The chapter explores the efficiency of generative model applications along with the effectiveness of their application in the simulation of various threat scenarios for anomalous network traffic detection and response. In this regard, the current cybersecurity methodologies should be reviewed, focusing on shortcomings in the traditional methods for detection and the use of AI to handle such challenges. For this purpose, there is a need to examine the role of generative models in AI-powered threat hunting and position these models as a vital enabler toward improved proactive security on enterprise networks. These include generative models, like GANs and transformer-based architectures, capable of dynamic threat identification and simulation, thus enabling tolerant visits. It provides performance metrics, for example, regarding detection accuracy, adaptability to zero-day threats, and reduced false-positive rates. The findings prove that generative models have enormous promise in improving network security and filling the most critical gaps in proactive detection. This further underlines the transformative potential of AI in cybersecurity and points out some future directions in which generative models can be leveraged to further fortify network perimeters.
