Machine Learning in Cybersecurity: Fact, Fantasy, and Moving Forward

Machine Learning in Cybersecurity: Fact, Fantasy, and Moving Forward

In the last several years we have seen personal assistants like Alexa, self-driving cars, and automated foreign language translation all made possible by machine learning.  Looking for new investment opportunities, the venture capital community has turned its attention to machine learning in cybersecurity and is investing millions of dollars into the sector. Now, nearly every product advertises machine learning, which has led to confusion between what’s real and what’s marketing. This talk will demystify machine learning in cybersecurity, separating fact from fantasy. We will discuss what machine learning is, why it is particularly challenging in cybersecurity, and how to design machine learning applications that will have the biggest impact for cyber applications.
