Autonomous Cyber Defense Systems the Future of Cybersecurity

Abstract

As cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity, traditional cybersecurity approaches are increasingly becoming insufficient. Autonomous Cyber Defense Systems (ACDS) represent the future of cybersecurity by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation to detect, mitigate, and respond to cyber threats in real-time. This paper explores the key aspects of ACDS, including their architecture, operational advantages, and limitations. We provide detailed analyses through tables on attack detection, response strategies, and the role of AI in cybersecurity. The conclusion highlights the importance of integrating autonomous systems into cybersecurity frameworks to safeguard critical infrastructure and data in an increasingly digital world.
