Abstract	The increasing complexity of modern networks renders manual management and incident response unsustainable. This paper investigates how artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and software-defined networking (SDN) can automate these critical functions. By leveraging AI/ML for proactive configuration, monitoring, and maintenance, and utilizing SDN for centralized control and scalability, networks can achieve significant improvements in efficiency, security, and performance. Automation also enables real-time threat detection and mitigation, dramatically shortening incident response times. While challenges like data privacy and false positives exist, and future advancements like quantum computing and blockchain are anticipated, the benefits of automated network management and incident response – enhanced efficiency, security, and cost reduction – are undeniable, paving the way for more robust and secure network infrastructures.
