Open Source & Machine Learning: A Dynamic Duo

As a data scientist, I'm always looking for new patterns and insights that guide action -- especially ways to make data science more effective for cybersecurity. One pattern I see consistently throughout the industry is the inability to operationalize machine learning in a modern security operations center. The challenge is that the capabilities behind different machine-learning models are difficult to explain. And if those of us in security can't understand how something works, and how to apply it to what we do, why on earth would we trust it? Machine learning (ML) can revolutionize the security industry, change the way we identify threats, and mitigate disruption to the business.
