The Future of Machine Learning in Cybersecurity

Machine learning (ML) is a commonly used term across nearly every sector of IT today. And while ML has frequently been used to make sense of big data--to improve business performance and processes and help make predictions--it has also proven priceless in other applications, including cybersecurity. This article will share reasons why ML has risen to such importance in cybersecurity, share some of the challenges of this particular application of the technology and describe the future that machine learning enables. The need for machine learning has to do with complexity. Many organizations today possess a growing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that aren't all known or managed by IT.
