Cyber Shields Using Artificial Intelligence: Advances in Security, Cryptography and Blockchain

In an era where traditional firewalls and antivirus software no longer stand a chance against sophisticated cyberattacks, this book provides the essential roadmap you need to secure next-generation cloud, IoT, and decentralized systems against catastrophic data breaches and ransomware.

Over the past few years, traditional cybersecurity measures have proven insufficient against the ever-growing sophistication of cyberattacks. As technology advances, particularly with the proliferation of cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and decentralized applications, cybersecurity professionals are faced with new and more challenging security risks, ranging from data breaches to cyber-espionage and ransomware attacks. This book delves into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence and deep learning on contemporary cybersecurity practices. It provides a detailed exploration of how cutting-edge AI and deep learning methodologies are being leveraged to secure digital ecosystems, mitigate emerging threats, and strengthen cryptographic protocols.

By integrating traditional security approaches with advanced machine learning and neural networks, the book offers readers a robust understanding of the next-generation tools and frameworks that are shaping the cybersecurity landscape. In addition to theoretical foundations, the book features practical case studies and real-world applications. Readers will gain insights into the use of AI for securing cloud environments, IoT networks, and mobile platforms.

Emerging challenges such as securing AI models against adversarial attacks and ethical considerations in AI-driven cybersecurity are also discussed. With contributions from experts in academia and industry, the book offers a balanced perspective, making it a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students at advanced undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels.
