AI coming to help cybersecurity

A short article summarized how AI would function in the field of cybersecurity.

Main point: "Smart Cybersecurity is a logical reaction to try to manage risk by lessening security gaps often posed by reliance on manual processes that are impacted by a continual cybersecurity skills shortage and the administrative burdens of data security management."

The contributions are in:
  • Artificial intelligence: "Computing systems that employ AI and ML are becoming more pervasive and critical to cyber operations and have become a major focus area of cybersecurity research development and investments in both the public and private sectors."
  • Machine learning: "Machine learning can provide the fastest way to identify new cyber-attacks, draw statistical inferences, and push that information to endpoint security platforms."
  • Automated and adaptive networks: "oth AI and machine learning can be core components and support applications of automated and adaptive networks."
  • Supercomputing: "Detecting cyber threats can be greatly enhanced by having an accurate model of normal background network traffic."
