AI in Cybersecurity: Through Engineers' Eyes - Australian Cyber Security Magazine

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) are often applied in cybersecurity, but their applications may not always work as intended. ISACA's new publication, AI Uses in Blue Team Security, looks at AI, ML and DL applications in cybersecurity to determine what is working, what is not, what looks encouraging for the future and what may be more hype than substance. Leveraging interviews with some of the engineers behind these technologies, firsthand examination and use of some of the related products, and observations of chief information security officers (CISOs) and chief information officers (CIOs), AI Uses in Blue Team Security seeks to determine whether marketing tactics obscure reality when it comes to new security technology. Of the 13 engineers who commented for this publication, none felt that the marketing associated with the products they were working on was completely accurate with respect to advertised capabilities. However, the engineers were optimistic about the direction they were heading and the technologies they would be creating as they relate to ML and DL.
