Machine Learning for Cybersecurity 101

#artificialintelligence

The considerable number of articles cover machine learning for cybersecurity and the ability to protect us from cyberattacks. Still, it's important to scrutinize how actually Artificial Intelligence (AI),Machine Learning (ML),and Deep Learning (DL) can help in cybersecurity right now, and what this hype is all about. First of all, I have to disappoint you. Unfortunately, machine learning will never be a silver bullet for cybersecurity compared to image recognition or natural language processing, two areas where machine learning is thriving. There will always be a man trying to find weaknesses in systems or ML algorithms and to bypass security mechanisms. What's worse, now hackers are able to use machine learning to carry out all their nefarious endeavors.


AI-based endpoint protection (EDR or AV) can be fooled a.k.a. our AI is bigger than yours - SecBI

#artificialintelligence

Last week, security researchers announced to the world that they have managed to outsmart one of the most popular EDR (endpoint detection and response) products in the world using AI. Cylance has since then outlined protective measures to safeguard its customers. The researchers used a video game code to create what they described as a "universal bypass" exploit. After a careful analysis of CylancePROTECT's engine and model, they found that the security solution had a demonstrated a "bias" for a popular game. The AI model's bias was the result of the endpoint product whitelisting certain executables from the video game.


The top AI cyber security companies - Information Age

#artificialintelligence

Ai is being frequently used in cyber security as a tool for seeking and fixing system vulnerabilities around the clock without needing rest, and with cyber criminals constantly finding new ways to infiltrate company systems, companies can't afford to let their guard down. So without further ado, let's take a look at the top cyber security companies for Ai implementation. The services offered by Darktrace involve analysis of real-time company data via machine learning. This allows for examination of any deviations from usual behaviour, which may suggest that a company's system is under threat. A notable Ai-powered platform offered by Darktrace is the Enterprise Immune System.


How AI and Automation Help Ensure Cybersecurity?

#artificialintelligence

The conventional tools to ensure cybersecurity are not sufficient in today's world especially in 2020 where using just anti-malware software or login audits will not work at par with rising threats. Organisations need more resources and powerful infrastructure to resist any type of data breach. To enable such strength, they need to embrace AI/ML and automation to fortify their company and company data against malicious intentions. In an interview to Tech Republic, Greg Martin, general manager of the Security Business Unit at Sumo Logic, said, "AI/ML and automation greatly enhance endpoint protection, but where we see the most benefit in the technology is guiding security operations in what exactly to do with those threats once they hit the enterprise. The ever-increasing sophistication and persistence of cybercriminal activity is requiring security operations teams to rethink how they use people, processes, and technology."

Dell TechnologiesVoice: Better Security Techniques Leave Passwords In The Dust

#artificialintelligence

Passwords may have protected personal computers since the early days of PCs, but their time may finally be ending. From hardware tokens to facial recognition, endpoint protection is evolving rapidly. Security-conscious organizations are complementing passwords with an extra layer of technology by combining something you know (your password) with something you have. An example of this underlying concept, known as two-factor authentication, is the use of a private digital certificate that the endpoint must see before it unlocks. Users put digital certificates on devices such as thumb drives that plug directly into a USB port, or on smart cards that communicate with a separate hardware reader.


Better Than Protection: Prediction and Prevention

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the stuff of the real world today. Your Google computer search, your Netflix movie choices, and your Amazon-supplied selection of buying options "made just for you" all employ AI based techniques. The application of AI pioneered by Cylance has transformed endpoint protection before our very eyes. Organizations are completely changing the way they operate, using greater security with fewer resources. Their staff was previously stretched thin, running around fixing problems, and trying to catch up with never-ceasing tickets.


Sophos To Acquire Invincea For Machine Learning Security

#artificialintelligence

UK-based security technology company Sophos (OTC:SPHHF) (LSE: SOPH) has announced an agreement to acquire Invincea's software business for up to $120 million in total consideration. Invincea has developed security software that utilizes machine learning and behavioral modeling to quickly detect and react to endpoint, perimeter threats and malware attacks. The technology is a necessary upgrade to the Sophos Central product line and also provides middle market focused Sophos with a foothold in the small business market through the addition of Invincea's customer base. Fairfax, Virginia-based Invincea was founded in 2009 by CEO Anup Ghosh to focus on endpoint threat detection, prevention, and analysis. The company provides security software to more than 25,000 small and medium enterprise customers through its antivirus'X' system that'combines machine learning and behavioral monitoring to eliminate endpoint security blind spots without sacrificing usability.'
