Adversarial-Aware Adaptive Defense (AAAD): An AI-Driven Cybersecurity Framework for India’s Digital Infrastructure

Abstract	India’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem—driven by platforms such as Aadhaar, UPI, and e-governance services—has significantly increased exposure to sophisticated cyber threats. Traditional rule-based cybersecurity systems are reactive, urban-centric, and ineffective against zero-day attacks, multilingual fraud, and low-bandwidth environments. This paper proposes Adversarial-Aware Adaptive Defense (AAAD), an AI-driven cybersecurity framework integrating Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for threat simulation and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for real-time adaptive policy optimization. AAAD is designed for edge deployment, enabling offline threat detection, multilingual fraud identification, and privacy-preserving federated learning. Experimental evaluation demonstrates reduced false-positive rates, lower detection latency, and cost-efficient deployment compared to conventional systems. The framework is particularly suited for securing India’s diverse and resource-constrained digital infrastructure, including financial services, identity verification, and healthcare systems.
