Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Their Role in Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence, as its name states can "learn" on its own based on human input and results. There is variation in human behavior, thus variation in results based on conditions. Machine learning simply takes the linear logic of AI and can recognize patterns in massive amounts of data at high speeds. Reaction times to events, in this case, a security threat, are faster than a human's but with human-machine teaming, the volume of data that needs to be analyzed for security threats can be done timely and with more effectiveness.
