Abstract

In the face of increasing cyber threats, this research paperwork presents advanced security automation program (ASAP) a revolutionary solution aimed at addressing modern cyber threats through the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and open-source technologies. Unlike conventional security systems like (SIEMs) security information and event management (SIEM) and& (SOCs) security operations centerre (SOC), ASAP provides automated defense mechanisms that surpass their limitations by significantly increasing both the speed and accuracy of incident detection by 50% to 90% and incident response efficiency by 30% to 70% holistically at no -cost. By democratizing cybersecurity, ASAP enables organizations of all sizes and even individual systems to access robust protection without relying on expensive proprietary solutions. By integrating open-source tools and AI, ASAP enhances threat detection, simplifies incident response, and bolsters overall cybersecurity. The paper encourages collaboration by sharing not only ASAP’s architecture but also development insights with the open-source community. By adopting ASAP, organizations can proactively strengthen their defenses, mitigate cyber risks and ensure operational continuity in the face of ever-evolving cyber threat. Our study research not only contributes to the field by proposing ASAP, but also identifies promising areas for future research such as integrating explainable AI techniques to increase user trust and understanding of ASAP’s decision-making processes.
