Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Information Systems and Technologies ManagementThis Thesis provides a qualitative view on the usage of AI technology in cybersecurity strategy of businesses. It explores the field of AI technology today, and how it is a good technology to implement into Cyber Security. The Internet and Informational technology have transformed the world of today. There is no doubt that it has created huge opportunities for global economy and humanity. The fact that Businesses of today is thoroughly dependent on the Internet and Information Systems has also exposed new vulnerabilities in terms of cybercrimes performed by a diversity of hackers, criminals, terrorists, the state and the non-state actors. All Public, private companies and government agencies are vulnerable for cybercrimes, none is left fully protected. In the recent years AI and machine learning technology have become essential to information security, since these technologies can analyze swiftly millions of datasets and tracking down a wide range of cyber threats. Alongside With the increasingly growth of automation in businesses, is it realistic that cybersecurity can be removed from human interaction into fully independent AI Applications to cover the businesses Information System Architecture of businesses in the future? This is a very interesting field those resources really need to deep into to be able to fully take advantage of the fully potential of AI technology in the usage in the field of cybersecurity. This thesis will explore the usage of AI algorithms in the prevention and detection of cyberattack in businesses and how to optimize its use. This knowledge will be used to implement a framework and a corresponding hybrid toolbox application that its purpose is be to be useful in every business in terms of strengthening the cybersecurity environment
