Abstract-The speed of procedures and the amount of data to be used in defending the cyber space cannot be controlled by humans without significant automation. On the other hand, it is hard to develop software with conservative fixed algorithms (hard-wired logic on decision making level) for efficiently defending in opposition to the vigorously evolving attacks in networks. The applications of artificial intelligence can be used to handle this situation that offers flexibility and learning potential to software. A brief review of artificial intelligence applications in cyber defense, and analysis of prospects of enhancing the cyber defense capabilities by increasing the intelligence of the defense systems have been presented in this paper. After surveying the papers available about artificial intelligence applications in cyber defense, we conclude that useful applications are already present. They belong to applications of artificial neural nets in perimeter defense and some other cyber defense fields. So it has become clear that only AI techniques can guarantee successful solutions to many cyber defense problems. For instance, use of extensive
knowledge is essential in decision making, and intelligent decision support is so far one of unanswered problems in cyber defense.
1. INTRODUCTION:
1.1. Background of Study.
1.1.1. Limitations in cyber security that are need to be addressed.
Cyber security is a multidisciplinary field that is targeted on reduction of risks to the secrecy, affinity and integrity of data, information and resources in computer as well as in network systems. Modern systems have become much complex. Need for an intelligent, adaptive and multimodal solution raises here for which best suited approach is artificial
