This book provides stepwise discussion, exhaustive literature review, detailed analysis and discussion, rigorous experimentation results (using several analytics tools), and an application-oriented approach that can be demonstrated with respect to data analytics using artificial intelligence to make systems stronger (i.e., impossible to breach). We can see many serious cyber breaches on Government databases or public profiles at online social networking in the recent decade. Today artificial intelligence or machine learning is redefining every aspect of cyber security. From improving organizations’ ability to anticipate and thwart breaches, protecting the proliferating number of threat surfaces with Zero Trust Security frameworks to making passwords obsolete, AI and machine learning are essential to securing the perimeters of any business. The book is useful for researchers, academics, industry players, data engineers, data scientists, governmental organizations, and non-governmental organizations.

This book presents a collection of state-of-the-art AI approaches to cybersecurity and cyberthreat intelligence, offering strategic defense mechanisms for malware, addressing cybercrime, and assessing vulnerabilities to yield proactive rather than reactive countermeasures. The current variety and scope of cybersecurity threats far exceed the capabilities of even the most skilled security professionals. In addition, analyzing yesterday’s security incidents no longer enables experts to predict and prevent tomorrow’s attacks, which necessitates approaches that go far beyond identifying known threats. Nevertheless, there are promising avenues: complex behavior matching can isolate threats based on the actions taken, while machine learning can help detect anomalies, prevent malware infections, discover signs of illicit activities, and protect assets from hackers. In turn, knowledge representation enables automated reasoning over network data, helping achieve cybersituational awareness. Bringing together contributions by high-caliber experts, this book suggests new research directions in this critical and rapidly growing field.

Intelligent Approach to Cyber Security provides details on the important cyber security threats and its mitigation and the influence of Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Blockchain technologies in the realm of cyber security. Features: Role of Deep Learning and Machine Learning in the Field of Cyber Security Using ML to defend against cyber-attacks Using DL to defend against cyber-attacks Using blockchain to defend against cyber-attacks This reference text will be useful for students and researchers interested and working in future cyber security issues in the light of emerging technology in the cyber world.

As the advancement of technology continues, cyber security continues to play a significant role in today’s world. With society becoming more dependent on the internet, new opportunities for virtual attacks can lead to the exposure of critical information. Machine and deep learning techniques to prevent this exposure of information are being applied to address mounting concerns in computer security. The Handbook of Research on Machine and Deep Learning Applications for Cyber Security is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of machine learning techniques for network security research. While highlighting topics such as web security, malware detection, and secure information sharing, this publication explores recent research findings in the area of electronic security as well as challenges and countermeasures in cyber security research. It is ideally designed for software engineers, IT specialists, cybersecurity analysts, industrial experts, academicians, researchers, and post-graduate students.

This book introduces various machine learning methods for cyber security analytics. With an overwhelming amount of data being generated and transferred over various networks, monitoring everything that is exchanged and identifying potential cyber threats and attacks poses a serious challenge for cyber experts. Further, as cyber attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, there is a requirement for machines to predict, detect, and identify them more rapidly. Machine learning offers various tools and techniques to automate and quickly predict, detect, and identify cyber attacks.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DATA MINING IN SECURITY FRAMEWORKS Written and edited by a team of experts in the field, this outstanding new volume offers solutions to the problems of security, outlining the concepts behind allowing computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts, with each concept defined through its relation to simpler concepts. Artificial intelligence (AI) and data mining is the fastest growing field in computer science. AI and data mining algorithms and techniques are found to be useful in different areas like pattern recognition, automatic threat detection, automatic problem solving, visual recognition, fraud detection, detecting developmental delay in children, and many other applications. However, applying AI and data mining techniques or algorithms successfully in these areas needs a concerted effort, fostering integrative research between experts ranging from diverse disciplines from data science to artificial intelligence. Successful application of security frameworks to enable meaningful, cost effective, personalized security service is a primary aim of engineers and researchers today. However realizing this goal requires effective understanding, application and amalgamation of AI and data mining and several other computing technologies to deploy such a system in an effective manner. This book provides state of the art approaches of artificial intelligence and data mining in these areas. It includes areas of detection, prediction, as well as future framework identification, development, building service systems and analytical aspects. In all these topics, applications of AI and data mining, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithm and hybrid mechanisms, are explained and explored. This book is aimed at the modeling and performance prediction of efficient security framework systems, bringing to light a new dimension in the theory and practice. This groundbreaking new volume presents these topics and trends, bridging the research gap on AI and data mining to enable wide-scale implementation. Whether for the veteran engineer or the student, this is a must-have for any library. This groundbreaking new volume: Clarifies the understanding of certain key mechanisms of technology helpful in the use of artificial intelligence and data mining in security frameworks Covers practical approaches to the problems engineers face in working in this field, focusing on the applications used every day Contains numerous examples, offering critical solutions to engineers and scientists Presents these new applications of AI and data mining that are of prime importance to human civilization as a whole

In recent years, interest and progress in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have boomed, with new applications vigorously pursued across many sectors. At the same time, the computing and communications technologies on which we have come to rely present serious security concerns: cyberattacks have escalated in number, frequency, and impact, drawing increased attention to the vulnerabilities of cyber systems and the need to increase their security. In the face of this changing landscape, there is significant concern and interest among policymakers, security practitioners, technologists, researchers, and the public about the potential implications of AI and ML for cybersecurity. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on March 12-13, 2019 to discuss and explore these concerns. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
