What is Machine Learning and How Does It Benefit Cybersecurity? - Security Boulevard

The future of a wide variety of industries is being shaped by the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in technological processes that previously took massive amounts of manpower and attention to detail. The automation of these processes through AI techniques like Machine Learning is a big win for cybersecurity, where they can help catch and prevent all kinds of cyberattacks. While Machine Learning isn't quite the same as AI as it is often understood, both systems allow computer processes to learn as a human would in order to compute complex processes at a scale no human could achieve. Arguably nowhere is this more important than in the ever-growing world of cybersecurity. Here, we explore what machine learning is and how it stands to benefit cybersecurity practices.
