by Caroline Wong (Author)
An up-to-date exploration of how AI is transforming cybersecurity and how to implement AI in your organization's cyber defenses to meet today's evolving threat landscape
In The AI Cybersecurity Handbook, author Caroline Wong examines AI's impact on both offensive and defensive cybersecurity strategies. Wong explains how artificial intelligence has transformed the way cyberattacks are carried out and how technology professionals prepare for and defend against them.
On the offensive side, the author explores how AI is being used to automate, accelerate, and personalize attacks against targets. She shows you how these technologies make cyberattacks cheaper to carry out, harder to detect, and easier to automate at scale--broadening the impact beyond initial targets to include partners, third parties, and critical connected systems.
For defenders, this book demonstrates how to use AI to evolve past traditional, rules-based cybersecurity defense to an adaptive model that evolves in real-time to counteract emergent risks and novel attack vectors. These new systems rely on continuously updated data inputs and form resilient bulwarks against formidable threats.
Inside the book:
- Hands-on strategies for minimizing operational barriers to AI implementation to enable new capabilities for defenders and allow for the use of powerful tools, like smart data enrichment, AI-powered query engines, and self-initiating security actions
- Up-to-date discussions of how to use AI to accelerate your cybersecurity responses while improving their accuracy, including anomaly detection, threat identification, and dynamic mitigation processes
- Expert advice for building resilient AI-enabled cybersecurity without compromising on AI ethics
Perfect for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, developers and business leaders looking for actionable guidance on the integration of AI into their IT security practices, The AI Cybersecurity Handbook offers accessible strategies well-suited to people with varying levels of technical expertise. It's a must-read book for everyone with a stake in safeguarding digital assets.

The essential framework for integrating artificial intelligence into modern cybersecurity strategy
In The AI Cybersecurity Handbook, Caroline Wong--recognized cybersecurity strategist, IANS Faculty Member, and Director at Teradata--defines the new strategic frontier where artificial intelligence and information security converge.
Drawing on two decades of executive and technical leadership across governance, risk, compliance, and software security, Wong examines how AI is reshaping both attack and defense. She provides a practical yet forward-looking blueprint for implementing adaptive, AI-driven defenses; mitigating data and model risk; and embedding responsible AI principles into enterprise cybersecurity programs.
Through detailed analysis and real-world examples, Wong reveals how threat actors are exploiting AI to accelerate and disguise attacks--and how leading organizations can counter with intelligent detection, predictive analytics, and autonomous response capabilities.
Written for security executives, technical leaders, and business decision-makers, The AI Cybersecurity Handbook delivers a cohesive strategy for harnessing AI responsibly, strengthening resilience, and anticipating the next generation of cyber threats.
