AI and Machine Learning

• Artificial Intelligence – a bunch of IF statements

  • Science of computers imitating the brain

• Machine learning

  • Subset of AI

  • Takes input, returns result, but also slightly adapts the decision process with every decision taken

  • Decision algorithm = “model”

  • Needs humans for training and validation

  • Deep learning

    • Subset of ML

    • Attempts to address the limitation of human intervention in ML

    • Tries to imitate the human thought process

    • Neural entowrk, built from simple to complex classes of knowledge

  • ML Uses in Cybersecurity

    • Data enrichment

    • Creation of signatures

    • SOAR – Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response
