ABSTRACT: Poorly secured connected objects can compromise the security of an entire
company, or even paralyze others. As useful as they are, they can be open doors
for computer attacks against the company. To protect themselves, large
companies set up expensive infrastructures to analyze the data that circulates
inside and outside the company. They install a SOC, a Security Operation Center
whose objective is to identify and analyze, using various tools, the level of
protection of a company and, if necessary, to alert on vulnerabilities and
leaks of security data. However, the attack detection capabilities of
traditional systems are based on a base of known signatures. Problem is that it is increasingly rare to have to face threats whose signature is
unknown. Artificial intelligence, on the contrary, does not look for
fingerprints in the packets carrying the attack, but rather analyzes how these
packets are arranged. The objective of this study is to show that the use of artificial
intelligence in companies may be low and to show the positive impacts of its
use compared to the traditional system used in companies. We also simulate an
attack on a system equipped with artificial intelligence to highlight the advantages
of AI in a computer attack. This research is important because it highlights
the risks that companies expose themselves to by always remaining secure in
their systems based on traditional techniques. The aim of this research is to
show the advantages that AI offers on cyber security compared to the
traditional security system. The expected result is to show the existing issues
regarding the rate of use of AI on cybersecurity in Burkina Faso.
