The Role of AI in Cybersecurity for Sustainable Data Stores: Innovations for Environmental Protection

EasyChair Preprint 12220

Abstract

In recent years, the proliferation of digital data and the increasing reliance on cloud-based storage solutions have underscored the critical importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding sensitive information. However, alongside concerns about data security, there is a growing recognition of the environmental impact of data centers and storage facilities. This paper explores the intersection of cybersecurity and environmental sustainability, focusing on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing both aspects. Firstly, the paper discusses the environmental challenges associated with traditional data storage infrastructure, including high energy consumption, carbon emissions, and electronic waste. It highlights the urgency of adopting sustainable practices within the realm of data storage to mitigate these negative environmental impacts. By employing AI algorithms, organizations can enhance their ability to detect and respond to cyber threats in real time, thereby safeguarding sensitive data and minimizing the risk of data breaches. Furthermore, the paper explores innovative AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, and behavioral analytics, which can augment traditional cybersecurity measures and adapt to evolving cyber threats. These AI-powered approaches enable organizations to proactively detect and neutralize security vulnerabilities, thereby enhancing the overall resilience of data storage infrastructure.
