AI Fundamentals

AI and machine learning are widely applied in cybersecurity to automatically analyze large volumes of system and network data, identify patterns indicative of malware, intrusions, or vulnerabilities, and flag weaknesses before they can be exploited. This capability directly supports threat detection, vulnerability scanning, and overall security posture management, which falls under the function of cybersecurity rather than superintelligence (a hypothetical future state of AI capability) or marketing (which focuses on customer engagement and sales, not system security).
