Applications of AI in cybersecurity

Issues related to digital security are, there is no doubt for this, of utmost importance in the development of methods and support measures for organisations to successfully prepare for as well as realise their digital transformation. While big organisations and businesses may afford to buy services or develop their own in-house know-how and tools, small and medium-sized businesses are not having the means for this, be them financial resources, human resources or technology itself. This dystopic situation may on the other hand offer an unexpected and – as of today – yet unprecedented chance for innovations in terms of bridging the gap and addressing the need with use of AI technologies and services. In the paper we elaborate on a scenario that we have been developing as part of a European project that is part of the European Horizons 2020 project CSAWARE.
