This study looks at the rise of automation in cybersecurity as a way to deal with the rising number and difficulty of cyber threats. Cybersecurity gets a boost from automation because it helps catch attacks early, avoids mistakes by people and speeds up the response which is necessary to prevent major consequences from comprehensive attacks. The research uses a mix of working with data and studying industry cases to assess the performance of automated security systems. Automated tools are shown to raise the detection level and bring down the number of fake alerts, so security teams can look into only the most important risks. Also, automation helps the response team by speeding up the process between discovering a threat and dealing with it. They make networks in different organizations better able to handle cybersecurity risks. It points out how introducing automation into cybersecurity helps solve problems, but it also brings up issues about keeping up with changes and resolving ethical questions. Researchers may focus on using AI to manage computers more efficiently and look into security frameworks designed to respond to the latest threats from cybercrime.
