AI is a broad domain to be explored by cybersecurity researchers and experts. As the capacity of intelligent systems increases, they will first reach and then surpass human capacities in many fields. In cybersecurity, AI can be used to strengthen the defenses of computer infrastructure. It is worth noting that, as AI covers fields considered reserved to humans, the security threats will increase in variety, difference and intelligence compared to actually existing techniques. Defense against these threats is very difficult, as cybersecurity experts themselves can be targeted by spear phishing attacks. Consequently, preparing for potential misuses of AI associated with this transition is an important task. The use of intelligent techniques aims to identify real-time attacks, with little or no human interaction, and to stop them before they cause damages. In conclusion, AI can be considered as a powerful tool in solving cybersecurity problems.
