A review: Artificial intelligence and expert systems for cyber security

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and expert systems are essential and vital tools to counter potentially dangerous threats
in cyber security. The protection of data requires skilled cyber security technicians for various types of roles. The
essential role of an expert system is to monitor the threats and assist the technician to strengthen security. The
system uses various datasets like a machine and deep learning as well as reinforced learning in order to make
intelligent decisions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the major concerns for cyber security because it is
potentially the second most likely vulnerable link in the cyber security environment because an attacker can easily
gain access to the system by breaching any IoT device that is connected to the system. Still human is the strongest
and potentially the weakest link in the cyber security environment. This review intends to present AI and expert
systems for cyber security.
