AI in Cybersecurity: Where We Stand & Where We Need to Go

With the omnipresence of the term artificial intelligence (AI) and the increased popularity of deep learning, a lot of security practitioners are being lured into believing that these approaches are the magic silver bullet we have been waiting for to solve all of our security challenges. But deep learning -- or any other machine learning (ML) approach -- is just a tool. And it's not a tool we should use on its own. We need to incorporate expert knowledge for the algorithms to reveal actual security insights. Before continuing this post, I will stop using the term artificial intelligence and revert back to using the term machine learning.
