Autonomous AI-based Cybersecurity Framework for Critical Infrastructure: Real-Time Threat Mitigation
This work addresses cybersecurity for critical infrastructure systems like energy grids and healthcare, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing AI methods without specifying novel breakthroughs.
The paper tackles cybersecurity vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure by proposing a hybrid AI-driven framework for real-time threat detection and automated remediation, providing actionable insights to enhance security and resilience against emerging cyber threats.
Critical infrastructure systems, including energy grids, healthcare facilities, transportation networks, and water distribution systems, are pivotal to societal stability and economic resilience. However, the increasing interconnectivity of these systems exposes them to various cyber threats, including ransomware, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). This paper examines cybersecurity vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, highlighting the threat landscape, attack vectors, and the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mitigating these risks. We propose a hybrid AI-driven cybersecurity framework to enhance real-time vulnerability detection, threat modelling, and automated remediation. This study also addresses the complexities of adversarial AI, regulatory compliance, and integration. Our findings provide actionable insights to strengthen the security and resilience of critical infrastructure systems against emerging cyber threats.
