Abstract: Cyber threats harm computer systems and networks with or without user consent.
Therefore, predicting cyber threats can be very important in these situations. We know that all
computers are connected through multiple networks, so predicting cyber threats can be very
helpful in avoiding future losses or disasters. Prediction is one of the ways we can understand
the output based on the given input. There is a strategy where the version is built on some
algorithm and that model is built with a positive data set. According to model schooling, the
model must wait for the result of a given input. These predictions are made using machine
learning algorithms. To help anticipate better impacts from a cyber threat angle. We have
explored the work done by several researchers on cyber risk predictions and can present our
own work as well. To do this, we will use special methods that allow you to achieve greater
results in predicting cyber threats. As a result, it would be very useful to have prior
information about cyber threats in addition to version usage studies. And as a result, you will
easily avoid information loss from this cyber opportunity.

Keywords: Cyber security, machine learning, malware detection, intrusion detection system,
