An Adaptive AI-Driven Next-Generation Stateful Firewall System

Traditional cybersecurity architectures are becoming increasingly obsolete in the face of the rapidly evolving threat landscape. This paper presents an adaptive AI-driven Next-Generation Stateful Firewall System designed to address the growing complexity of cybersecurity challenges. The proposed system adapts dynamically to emerging threats through real-time traffic analysis and continuous rule updates. It also uses external threat intelligence to proactively detect and mitigate attacks. When tested with live traffic, the system exhibited enhanced threat detection and quicker response times, indicating its effectiveness in real-world cybersecurity scenarios.
