Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence: Triad-Based Analysis and Attacks Review

Open Access
|Sep 2025

Abstract

This study aims to expand the understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) attack scenarios and develop effective protection mechanisms against them. The triadic principle was used to investigate attacks on traditional systems and AI systems, enhance these attacks using AI, and employ AI for cybersecurity defence. By systematically analysing the interactions between these elements, we create a comprehensive set of attack scenarios and corresponding defensive strategies. Current analysis reveals distinct attack patterns and vulnerabilities associated with traditional and AI-based systems. Effective defence mechanisms and strategies were identified and tailored to various attack scenarios, leveraging AI’s capabilities for improved security measures. The findings provide a structured approach to understanding and mitigating AI-related threats in cybersecurity. By mapping out the roles of AI in both attack and defence, this study offers valuable insights for developing advanced tools and methods to assess system security and enhance countermeasures.
