Jul 2026 · International journal of computer information systems and industrial management applications · 0 citations

Abstract

Background: India faced a surge of cyber threats, from their frequency to sophistication, as the growth of Digital Technologies, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the rise of online financial services. In this regard, machine learning (ML) is a potential solution that offers intelligence, adaptability, and real-time detection and prevention of cyber threats. While the studies on ML applications in the field of cybersecurity have been conducted, a thorough synthesis study on the available evidence on cybersecurity in the Indian context has yet to be carried out.Objective: This systematic review will focus on evaluating the literature related to machine learning techniques for real-time cyber threat detection and prevention in India.Methods: This study used a systematic review design and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines were followed. A thorough literature search was performed in all major electronic databases such as IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, ACM Digital Library and Google Scholar. The articles were included if they were published in English and reviewed by peers from 2020-2026.Conclusion: Machine learning has proven to be a transformative technology for enhancing cybersecurity, with its ability to detect threats intelligently, adaptively, and automatically. Despite the progress made, there is still a need for more research and development to build easily explainable, scalable, and context-specific machine learning models that can adapt to India's growing cybersecurity challenges. The insights from this review offer tangible support for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in their quest for enhanced AI-driven cybersecurity solutions and a more secure digital landscape.

Improving Cybersecurity with Artificial Intelligence: Identification, Examination, and Mitigation of Cyber Threats

Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated in today’s digital world, rendering conventional security measures inadequate. In order to increase the accuracy of cyber threat detection, this study investigates the application of deeplearning methods to increase the accuracy of cyber threat detection. A cybersecurity dataset was used to test four classification models: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Random Forest, XGBoost, and Logistic Regression. The models were evaluated using the key 95.32. The performance of Artificial Neural Networks, Random Forest, XGBoost, and Logistic Regression was examined. These findings imply that learning-based and ensemble models are better at spotting intricate and changing attack patterns. In general, the study highlights the significance of clever, data-driven methods for creating cybersecurity defence systems that are quicker, more dependable, and more resilient.

Advanced Machine Learning Model for Anticipating and Preventing Cyber Attacks Using Random Forest (RF)

The rapid advancement of digital technologies, cloud computing, and internet-based services has significantly increased the occurrence of cyber threats and security breaches. Traditional cybersecurity systems primarily rely on signature-based detection techniques, which often fail to identify new and evolving cyberattacks. This limitation creates a need for intelligent and automated solutions capable of detecting malicious activities in real time. To address this challenge, the proposed research presents an Advanced Machine Learning Model for Anticipating and Preventing Cyber Attacks Using Random Forest (RF). The system collects network traffic data, performs preprocessing and feature extraction, and applies the Random Forest algorithm to classify network activities as safe, suspicious, or malicious. In addition, the framework provides real-time monitoring, alert generation, attack classification, and prevention recommendations to enhance cybersecurity management. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model effectively detects cyber threats with high accuracy and reliability, thereby improving threat anticipation and reducing security risks. The proposed framework offers a scalable and intelligent solution for strengthening modern cybersecurity infrastructures
