ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE NETWORK: AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AND THREAT FORECASTING
Abstract
This article highlights the increasing complexity of manual control of flows in network infrastructure due to their increasing volume, especially the difficulties in identifying slowly developing hidden threats. The ability to analyze traffic in real time, identify anomalies, and detect threats early is due to the ability of artificial intelligence algorithms to detect subtle changes. By forming characteristics, organizing data, and applying a corresponding model, the system will be able to identify even the smallest differences between packets. In practical cases, gradual changes in port switching, detection of slow flows directed to unknown servers, or hidden behavior characteristic of bots have shown the advantages of artificial intelligence. Such an approach will allow strengthening security, reducing the burden on administrators, and detecting suspicious activity at an early stage, demonstrating high efficiency in identifying threats, which in appearance are practically indistinguishable from regular traffic.
