Why security teams should treat machine learning like a junior employee

Machine learning is critical to the future of cybersecurity and helping security teams overcome the challenges of modern cybersecurity attacks. Indeed, its ability to'outthink' humans can boost return on investment (ROI), drastically improve productivity and minimise resource expenditure. However, machine learning is also not just a'set and forget' solution. In fact, companies need to treat machine like an intern on their first day. Security teams should not assume a machine learning programme can hit the ground running – there needs to be an onboarding process where you check in on the models frequently and spend time getting them started in the right direction.
