This book lays a systematic foundation for professionals, researchers, and industry readers who are interested the applications and implications of generative AI for cybersecurity. It covers the latest advances in generative AI and its applications, risks, and opportunities in cybersecurity.The authors first introduce the fundamental background of generative AI, the latest cybersecurity issues, and related potential applications in cybersecurity systems. Following this, they comprehensively review the state-of-the-art research and development, covering various aspects of generative AI applications in this area and related challenges and issues, such as training data availability, computational complexity, generalization to different scenarios, AI governance, quantum-empowered AI and many more. These discussions provide a strong understanding of recent advances in the two fields of generative AI and cybersecurity and the convergence of these domains, which will help readers to shape the field as it matures. Hands-on experiments presented throughout will also give them the practical skills for success. By leveraging its capabilities, readers can overcome challenges, understand the risks, enhance performance, and unlock new opportunities for handling the challenges of cybersecurity with generative AI. Consequently, they will be able to apply their knowledge to utilize generative AI in cybersecurity applications to prevent economic and other losses due to cyber risks such as phishing, fake news, deepfake-based fraud, and other cyberattacks.The contents of this book are appropriate for a wide range of readers from general readers to industry experts and scientists. Because it bridges the gap between generative AI and cybersecurity, experts from both fields will benefit from the information presented within. Students with a background in either area will also benefit from the approach that leads from general to specific applications.
