Why Cybersecurity Needs Machine Learning - DATAVERSITY

Mike Stute recently wrote in Datanami, "Fraud detection. These use cases–and so many more–all owe a debt to machine learning. By automatically discovering patterns that lead to insights and creating predictive models that drive actions, the technology has proven its value many times, and to many industries. More recently, machine learning has begun to make a name for itself in the field of cybersecurity. As part of a larger cybersecurity solution, machine learning can help human security analysts when it comes to detecting real threats more quickly, so that an enterprise can act on them more swiftly. The technology can plumb the depths of historical security data to learn what attacks look like based on hidden variables and their relationships to each other, all in preparation for'seeing' the next attack when it hits."
