In the digital age, the escalating threat of cyberattacks has become a major concern, with stories of identity theft, data breaches, and sophisticated cybercrimes impacting individuals and organizations worldwide. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has not only revolutionized various scientific and technical fields, such as robotics and healthcare, but has also given rise to a new era of intelligent cyberattacks. The widespread use of IoT has further intensified the impact of cyber threats globally. In response, the imperative to formulate a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy has become paramount. Cybersecurity involves the deployment of technology, procedures, and controls to safeguard against cyberattacks on devices, programs, networks, systems, and data. Traditional security measures alone prove insufficient against the evolving tactics of cybercriminals who employ cutting-edge methods. Fortunately, AI technologies have emerged as a crucial tool in fortifying cyber defences. This essay explores the application of AI in combating cyberattacks, showcasing its potential in developing intelligent models capable of analysing data and making informed decisions to protect against the ever-growing sophistication of cyber threats
