ABSTRACT: Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging machine learning paradigm with transformative potential in the field of cybersecurity. By enabling decentralized model training across distributed devices without transferring raw data, FL addresses critical privacy concerns while supporting real-time threat detection. This review synthesizes recent advances in the application of FL to cybersecurity, focusing on its deployment in domains such as the Internet of Things (IoT), intrusion detection systems, and threat intelligence networks. The review highlights key......
