Summary

Martiri et al. (2025) edited a volume of 10 chapters that covers how artificial intelligence technologies are reshaping cyber threat intelligence and cyber risk assessment, and the barriers and ethical or legal considerations that accompany their adoption. The volume maps current trends in AI-enabled threat intelligence and assembles sector and regional evidence on digital marketing fraud, healthcare compliance, workforce upskilling and Kazakh businesses into guidance for building resilient AI-enabled cybersecurity frameworks. Methods and evidence are at chapter level, and the book is not a single empirical study.

Practical implication. Researchers, policymakers and practitioners can use the volume to assess where AI-based threat intelligence helps, where it raises new risks, and how to govern it.

The Problem
Artificial intelligence is reshaping cyber threat intelligence and risk assessment, but adoption barriers, workforce gaps and ethical and legal questions remain unresolved.
The Approach
Edited volume of 10 chapters; chapters combine literature-based trend analyses, thematic and trend analysis of workforce upskilling, sector cases (digital marketing, healthcare, Kazakh businesses), and framework development.
The Core Contribution
The volume maps current trends in AI-enabled threat intelligence and assembles sector and regional evidence — digital marketing fraud, healthcare compliance, workforce upskilling and Kazakh businesses — into guidance for building resilient AI-enabled cybersecurity frameworks.
