ABSTRACT
The rapid evolution of cyber threats and the dynamic nature of the threat landscape have necessitated the development of proactive and predictive defense mechanisms. This research proposes an AI-driven framework for predictive cyber threat intelligence aimed at enhancing organizational cybersecurity by identifying and mitigating threats before they materialize. The framework integrates diverse data sources, including network logs, endpoint data, and threat intelligence feeds, to generate actionable insights using advanced machine learning algorithms such as anomaly detection, pattern recognition, and predictive analytics. A continuous feedback loop ensures the adaptability of the framework through model retraining, anomaly adjustment, and performance monitoring. By leveraging supervised and unsupervised learning models, the framework addresses both known and unknown threats, providing scalable, real-time threat detection and risk assessment capabilities. This approach shifts the cybersecurity paradigm from reactive to proactive, enabling organizations to anticipate and counteract sophisticated cyber-attacks effectively. The proposed system’s application is demonstrated through practical scenarios, highlighting its potential to transform decision-making in high-stakes cybersecurity environments.
