Artificial Intelligence Accelerated Cyber Operations: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract:
Societies’ increasing dependence on digitised services makes them vulnerable to cyber threats. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been utilised in threat detection since the 1990s, and its use is expanding as the technology advances. However, the role of AI in cyber operations has not been studied systematically. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of how AI can accelerate both defensive and offensive cyber operations. Using the systematic literature review method, 22 practical use cases were identified and mapped onto different phases of cyber operations. The results indicate that cyber operations leaders’ AI acceleration has not been sufficiently researched.
