In this Help Net Security podcast, Chris Morales, Head of Security Analytics at Vectra, talks about machine learning fundamentals, and illustrates what cybersecurity professionals should know. Hi, this is Chris Morales and I'm Head of Security Analytics at Vectra, and in this Help Net Security podcast I want to talk about machine learning fundamentals that I think we all need to know as cybersecurity professionals. AI has become very used within our industry more and more, and here at Vectra we are an AI company as well. As you start to hear more about AI, you have to start asking yourself what is it really, what makes a machine intelligent and in the next ten minutes I just want to give a quick overview so that you can understand some of the principle operations and applications of how machine learnings apply to build AI, and just kind of a quick understanding of the different algorithms or understanding when you need to use certain algorithms for specific jobs. There has always been a very muddled use of the terms artificial intelligence, data science and machine learning.
