The talk discusses the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enterprise cybersecurity. The topics include self-learning, stochastic cellular automata, adaptive & self-organising systems and recursive Bayesian algorithms. The talk briefly surveys several cybersecurity companies including Darktrace, Logrhythm and Norse Corporation. There is also discussion of the application of AI and neural networks within the Banking sector for "Algorithmic Trading" during the last 10 to 20 years. These techniques are now highly relevant, and even ESSENTIAL, for the provision of real-time enterprise cybersecurity to complement traditional "signature" based anti-virus & firewall based solutions. The talk closes with the presentations for the future of Cybersecurity in 2020, 2025 and 2040 including reference to similar forecasts from both Business & Governments. The talk was given by Dr David Eric Probert at the East-West International Security Conference at the Melia Galgos Hotel in Madrid, Spain on the Tuesday 27th October 2015.
“AI is the new electricity” proclaims Andrew Ng, co-founder of Google Brain. Just as we need to know how to safely harness electricity, we also need to know how to securely employ AI to power our businesses. In some scenarios, the security of AI systems can impact human safety. On the flip side, AI can also be misused by cyber-adversaries and so we need to understand how to counter them.
This talk will provide food for thought in 3 areas:
Security of AI systems
Use of AI in cybersecurity
Malicious use of AI

Every single security company is talking about how they are using machine learning—as a security company you have to claim artificial intelligence to be even part of the conversation. However, this approach can be dangerous when we blindly rely on algorithms to do the right thing. Rather than building systems with actual security knowledge, companies are using algorithms that nobody understands and, in turn, discovering wrong insights.
In this session, we will discuss:
• Limitations of machine learning and issues of explainability
• Where deep learning should never be applied
• Examples of how the blind application of algorithms can lead to wrong results

Keynote Presentation for ISACA Belgium 2017 on how artificial intelligence is influencing the cyber security industry, and what current and future developments there are
How Machine Learning & AI Will Improve Cyber SecurityDevOps.com
Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been proclaimed as perhaps the next great leap in human quality of life, as well as a potential reason for our extinction. Somewhere in between lies how ML & AI can potentially improve our Cyber Security efforts. But are ML & AI a true panacea or merely the next shiny trinket for the cyber industry to fixate on? In this webinar we will explore:
How ML & AI are currently being utilized in cyber security efforts.
What is working and what has not worked
What is on the both the short term and near-term horizon for ML &AI
Practical steps you can take now to begin leveraging these technologies to tangibly improve your cyber security posture
Join our panel of industry experts as we explore this brave new frontier in cyber security with a candid look cutting through the hype.
How is ai important to the future of cyber security Robert Smith
Today’s era is driven by technology in every aspect of our lives, so much that we’ve now increased our dependence on technology on a daily basis. With an increase in the dependency, we’re now very vulnerable and exposed to the intermittent threat posed as cyber-attacks. Cyber-attack threats have plagued businesses, corporates, governments, and institutions.
Use of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security - Avantika UniversityAvantika University
There are many uses of artificial intelligence in cyber security. Although artificial intelligence has so many advantages over human intelligence, it is dependent on humans. Due to the ever-increasing demand for engineers, there is a bright scope in the field of cyber security. Avantika University is one of the top engineering colleges in India.

Read our cybersecurity predictions for 2017: http://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/tag/2017-predictions/
These predictions are part of an ongoing blog series examining “Sure Things” (predictions that are almost guaranteed to happen) and “Long Shots” (predictions that are less likely to happen) in cybersecurity in 2017.
The cyber security job is everyone's business including the Board of Directors, even without a cyber security degree. Recent cyber security news proves that. According to several studies, Boards are getting it wrong and are leaving cyber awareness and risk management in the hands of the CEO, CISO, CTOs and cyber security companies. In a sense they are abdicating their responsibility to the shareholders. This slideshare proposes 7 questions every board should be asking their company executives abour IT security. They're not necessarily all encompassing and don't take the place of real cybersecurity training, but will drive the discussion to better and more complete understanding of strategic risk. Questions cover the basics of cyber security training, cyber policies, who briefs and when at board meetings. Thanks.
A short presentation for beginners on Introduction of Machine Learning, What it is, how it works, what all are the popular Machine Learning techniques and learning models (supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, reinforcement learning) and how they works with various Industry use-cases and popular examples.
This Presentation will give you an overview about Artificial Intelligence : definition, advantages , disadvantages , benefits , applications .
We hope it to be useful .

A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.

Secure Because Math: A Deep-Dive on Machine Learning-Based Monitoring (#Secur...Alex Pinto
We could all have predicted this with our magical Big Data analytics platforms, but it seems that Machine Learning is the new hotness in Information Security. A great number of startups with ‘cy’ and ‘threat’ in their names that claim that their product will defend or detect more effectively than their neighbour's product "because math". And it should be easy to fool people without a PhD or two that math just works.
Indeed, math is powerful and large scale machine learning is an important cornerstone of much of the systems that we use today. However, not all algorithms and techniques are born equal. Machine Learning is a most powerful tool box, but not every tool can be applied to every problem and that’s where the pitfalls lie.
This presentation will describe the different techniques available for data analysis and machine learning for information security, and discuss their strengths and caveats. The Ghost of Marketing Past will also show how similar the unfulfilled promises of deterministic and exploratory analysis were, and how to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Finally, the presentation will describe the techniques and feature sets that were developed by the presenter on the past year as a part of his ongoing research project on the subject, in particular present some interesting results obtained since the last presentation on DefCon 21, and some ideas that could improve the application of machine learning for use in information security, especially in its use as a helper for security analysts in incident detection and response.

From Hughesovka to Donetsk (Translated to Russian)Dr David Probert
Donetsk, Ukraine is at the core of regional issues between Russia & the West. In the 19thC my Great Great Grandfather worked for 25 years in Hughesovka which was created as an Industrial Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the Russian Government & Welsh Entrepreneur - John Hughes with the "New Russia Company Limited" registered in 1869. This 19thC Company Town was renamed Stalino in 1924 & Donetsk in 1961. Here is the Russian Translation of my Personal Thoughts & Family Story relating to the historical journey from Hughesovka (1870) to Donetsk (2022) .
Some Personal Reflections on the Evolution of the 19thC Industrial Complex set up by John Hughes in 1870 by the New Russia Company in the City known then as Hughesovka and since renamed as Donetsk in Donbas - Eastern Ukraine. The article includes some family history and connections with Donbas and a Personal Postscript & Analysis of current events.
We compare the challenge of the current COVID-19 Bio-Pandemic with the potential of Global Cyber-Pandemic during the coming decade! Bio-Events are Spatial whilst Cyber-Events are Temporal & require "Defence in Time" We speculate on the emergence of "Silicon Life" and the possibility of autonomous cyber-attacks by networks of AI-Bots & Drone Swarms upon Critical National Infrastructure. The paper assumes some understanding of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Cybersecurity. Enjoy!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
