From Vulnerability to Defense: The Role of Large Language Models in Enhancing Cybersecurity

The escalating complexity of cyber threats, coupled with the rapid evolution of digital landscapes, poses significant challenges to traditional cybersecurity mechanisms. This review explores the transformative role of LLMs in addressing critical challenges in cybersecurity. With the rapid evolution of digital landscapes and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, traditional security mechanisms often fall short in detecting, mitigating, and responding to complex risks. LLMs, such as GPT, BERT, and PaLM, demonstrate unparalleled capabilities in natural language processing, enabling them to parse vast datasets, identify vulnerabilities, and automate threat detection. Their applications extend to phishing…
