This article is focused on the analysis of the increasing risks of hostile cyber operations targeting AI and their relevance to cybersecurity. The study proposes a novel classifying system of adversarial ML attacks based on their aims, the knowledge level of the attacker, the degree of specialization concerning the attack target, and the frequency of the attack. It shows that the same kind of attacks are possible during both the training and inference phases and explains how small changes to data can affect ML systems. Examples like healthcare model theft and data poisoning during the recent U.S. elections highlight the serious threats to public confidence and data integrity. Nonetheless, it also suggests a strong defense framework that incorporates defense architecture with the new ideas of adversarial training, game-theoretic models, robust learning, and adversarial detection. The effectiveness of adversarial training was demonstrated by the notable 75% performance retention it attained against gradient-based assaults. To improve the system's reliability and protect it from adversarial threats, the research employs the findings of AI and cybersecurity domains. It is highly valuable for the progress of defense techniques for AI in life-critical applications and provides essential contributions to the protection of essential structures.  

Today, the challenges and opportunities that are now inherent in the development of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) for cybersecurity are evolving rapidly. As such, this article examines the proactive capabilities of GAI, with a focus on how it has revolutionized the concept of cyber threats and the approaches to threat intelligence. It investigates the predictive and adaptive potential of GAI to combat sophisticated attack vectors, zero-day vulnerabilities, and automated threat modeling. According to studies, this research highlights that GAI can predict attack patterns with 87% accuracy and detect zero-day vulnerabilities with 80% precision. In addition, GAI-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) exhibit high detection rates (98% for known threats and 92% for unknown threats) at low false positive rates. This data shows that integrating GAI into cybersecurity enables organizations to discover vulnerabilities prior to exploitation, simulate realistic attack scenarios, and automate threat reactions. However, as with GAI in cybersecurity, there are significant. ethical and operational risks of GAI in cybersecurity, including the capacity to enable adversaries and magnify existing vulnerabilities that need close regulatory oversight. Organizations leverage their predictive power to anticipate and proactively secure their digital infrastructure from emerging threats, moving from an earlier reactive to a more anticipatory security posture. In the end, the findings from this research point to the need to strategically leverage GAI to strengthen cybersecurity strategies by creating fortified defenses in an ever more complicated digital environment.
