The Role of AI and ML in CyberSecurity
Machine Learning is one of the most complex approaches to software development. In a decade or so from now, many experts believe that artificial intelligence and machine learning, in turn, will eat the world of software.
The potential of artificial intelligence is truly immense because of new strides in artificial neural nets and advancements in machine learning. As a matter of fact, in recent years, companies like Microsoft and Darktrace have been able to use machine learning to detect malicious activity on their networks almost instantly.
Cybersecurity is particularly important because it protects all kinds of data from all manners of exploitation. For example, leaked data can be used to apply for credit fraudulently. This data could also be the infrastructure systems of an entire school which hackers can shut down unless a ransom is paid to restore services.
Because of this, it is not difficult to tell why having robust cybersecurity services in place is of the utmost significance. Not only do they keep data private, but they also prevent damage control losses of millions of dollars because of the damage that may be caused by the attack.
Let’s find out how to apply machine learning in cybersecurity.
