AI, Explain Yourself: Why Is Explainable AI (XAI) Becoming Critical for Cybersecurity?

This article explains the importance of Explainable AI (XAI) in cybersecurity, detailing how feature attribution, model introspection, and explainable modeling enhance fraud prevention, SOC triage, authentication, governance, and resilience to adversarial attacks, while highlighting real-world applications (e.g., identity fraud detection) and Group-IB Fraud Protection’s use of XAI to provide transparent, evidence-based decisions that reduce false positives, accelerate investigations, and build trust in AI-driven security operations.
