Lecture:
From Data Collection to Threat Intelligence: Secure Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity
Abstract:
The early detection of threats in cyberspace requires the collection of multiple data and pieces of evidence from multiple sources. Machine learning approaches are widely adopted for their capability of clustering and classifying events described by a large set of diverse characteristics. This lecture will explore the design choices behind developing and deploying effective and secure machine learning tools for cybersecurity. Human experience and expertise play a lead role in correctly shaping secure, robust, and explainable solutions.
