COMO A INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL PODE SER APLICADA CONTRAAS TENTATIVAS DE PHISHING

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is a concept in the world of technology that consists of simulating human capacity, machines that have the ability to learn from the analysis and interpretation of data and use this learning to perform tasks or solve problems. In the area of information security, the use of artificial intelligence is a decisive factor for cybersecurity policies to become more proactive and predictive, thus having greater effectiveness in combating threats. Phishing specifically is a type of scam that is constantly growing due to the dozens of new digital environments where these scams can be applied, in conjunction with the exponential increase in technology consumption by the population. This research aims to investigate through the scientific literature the main approaches of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. Data released by Check Point Research, a security threat intelligence division, show that in the year 2022, 1,540 cybersecurity incidents are recorded every week in Brazil. The numbers are also higher than those seen in the global average, where there are 1,200 weekly attacks against companies and organizations. It is justified by the need to strengthen data protection within corporate environments, since these data may contain confidential information about the company, such as the organization's financial, strategic or political planning, which, if exposed, may affect its economic stability.
