THEORETICAL AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF MACHINE LEARNING USAGE IN CYBERSECURITY

The article explores the technical and theoretical aspects of machine learning (ML) in addressing the escalating complexities of cybersecurity threats in the digital age since the ever-growing rise in cybercrime has prompted users to utilize newer approaches to raise the bar on cybersecurity. Research considers the adoption of machine learning (ML) technology as a cornerstone of virtually any contemporary problem in cyber security, particularly processes and techniques involved in problem analysis, detection, attack prediction, and even behavioral profiling. Elaborated on how ML makes a better response compared to traditional methods like signature-based detection by explaining how real-time analysis of massive data becomes possible. An overview of the important features of supervised and unsupervised learning is provided in the context of anomaly detection and malicious activity recognition with a focus on Support Vector Machine and Isolation Forests algorithms as well as a detailed look at the LSTM model for phishing URL evolution analysis. Also, those algorithms have been highlighted from the technical implementation side: supervised learning with Support Vector Machines using S
