Artificial intelligence and machine learning in security

“

- The cybersecurity industry is currently having two distinct conversations around AI and ML. The first focus is on how we're using this advanced technology to better secure systems and applications, and the second focus is on how we secure the AI and ML systems themselves. First things first, though. What are AI and ML? Let's start with AI, artificial intelligence. In the simplest terms, AI is about building machines that can mimic human intelligence. Think problem solving, learning, and decision making. It's a pretty broad field with a lot of different approaches. Machine learning, ML, is a subset of AI and it focuses on giving computers the ability to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Essentially, we feed them tons of information or data, and they figure out the patterns and rules on their own. Think of AI as a big umbrella and machine learning as one of the powerful tools under that umbrella. ML provides the learning and predictive capabilities that make many AI…
