Machine Learning Applications in Predictive Cyber Threat Management

Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) has become a cornerstone in predictive cyber threat management, offering advanced capabilities to analyze vast datasets, identify patterns, and predict potential security vulnerabilities. This paper explores the role of ML applications in enhancing threat detection, risk assessment, and proactive mitigation strategies. Techniques such as anomaly detection, supervised learning, and deep learning enable organizations to anticipate and counter cyber threats before they materialize. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of current advancements in ML-based predictive threat management, including case studies and sector-specific applications. The findings highlight ML’s effectiveness in reducing response times, improving accuracy, and mitigating the impacts of emerging threats. Challenges such as algorithmic bias, computational costs, and adversarial attacks are also discussed, along with recommendations for optimizing ML implementation. This paper underscores ML’s transformative potential in creating robust, adaptive, and efficient cybersecurity frameworks.
