Introduction To Artificial Intelligence For Security Professionals

[Nytro]

The information security world is rich with information. From reviewing logs

to analyzing malware, information is everywhere and in vast quantities, more

than the workforce can cover. Artificial intelligence is a field of study that is

adept at applying intelligence to vast amounts of data and deriving meaningful

results. In this book, we will cover machine learning techniques in practical

situations to improve your ability to thrive in a data driven world. With

clustering, we will explore grouping items and identifying anomalies. With

classification, we’ll cover how to train a model to distinguish between classes

of inputs. In probability, we’ll answer the question “What are the odds?”

and make use of the results. With deep learning, we’ll dive into the powerful

biology inspired realms of AI that power some of the most effective methods

in machine learning today.

 

The Cylance Data Science team consists of experts in a variety of fields.

Contributing members from this team for this book include Brian Wallace, a

security researcher turned data scientist with a propensity for building tools

that merge the worlds of information security and data science. Sepehr

Akhavan-Masouleh is a data scientist who works on the application of

statistical and machine learning models in cyber-security with a Ph.D from

University of California, Irvine. Andrew Davis is a neural network wizard

wielding a Ph.D in computer engineering from University of Tennessee.

Mike Wojnowicz is a data scientist with a Ph.D. from Cornell University who

enjoys developing and deploying large-scale probabilistic models due to

their interpretability. Data scientist John H. Brock researches applications

of machine learning to static malware detection and analysis, holds an M.S.

in computer science from University of California, Irvine, and can usually be

found debugging Lovecraftian open source code while mumbling to himself

about the virtues of unit testing.
