Threat Detection and Response Using AI and NLP in Cybersecurity
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: In an age of rapid technical innovation and a growing digital world, protecting sensitive data from cyberattacks is crucial. The dynamic and complicated nature of these attacks requires novel cybersecurity solutions. Methods: This study analyses how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) strengthen cybersecurity. The qualitative research approach is followed to gather data through a literature review of relevant scholarly articles and conduct interviews with cybersecurity specialists. Results: Recent AI advances have greatly enhanced the detection of anomalous patterns and behaviors in huge datasets, a key threat identification tool. NLP has also excelled at detecting malevolent intent in textual data, such as phishing efforts. AI and NLP enable adaptive security policies, enabling agile responses to evolving security issues. Expert interviews confirm that AI and NLP reduce false positives, improve threat intelligence, streamline network security setups, and improve compliance checks. These technologies enable responsive security policies, which give a strategic edge against developing security threats. AI and NLP's predictive skills could revolutionize cybersecurity by preventing threats. Conclusion: This study shows that AI and NLP have improved cybersecurity threat detection, automated incident response, and adaptive security policies. Overcoming threat detection, aggressive attacks and data privacy issues is essential to properly leveraging these advances and strengthening cyber resilience in a changing digital landscape.

Deployment inside SIEM requires calibrated scores, adaptive thresholds, and real-time scoring paths so analysts can act on ranked anomalies rather than raw detector outputs.
“Second, deployment inside SIEM requires calibrated scores, adaptive thresholds, and real-time scoring paths so analysts can act on ranked anomalies rather than raw detector outputs [2,11,12].”
From A SIEM-Integrated Cybersecurity Prototype for Insider Threat Anomaly Detection Using Enterprise Logs and Behavioural Biometrics (2026) · cites this paper as [11]
The “Safeguarding national security and preventing data” and “Triage and Response Automation” sections say AI-driven triage prioritizes security events so urgent risks receive faster responses. The copy does not specify SIEM deployment, calibrated scores, adaptive thresholds, or real-time scoring paths; its discussion of adaptive security policies is not a discussion of scoring thresholds.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
