10 Machine Learning Blueprints You Should Know for Cybersecurity: Protect your systems and boost your defenses with cutting-edge AI techniques

Work on 10 practical projects, each with a blueprint for a different machine learning technique, and apply them in the real world to fight against cybercrime .Key Features Learn how to frame a cyber security problem as a machine learning problem Examine your model for robustness against adversarial machine learning Build your portfolio, enhance your resume, and ace interviews to become a cybersecurity data scientist Book Description Machine learning in security is harder than other domains because of the changing nature and abilities of adversaries, high stakes, and a lack of ground-truth data. This book will prepare machine learning practitioners to effectively handle tasks in the challenging yet exciting cybersecurity space.The book begins by helping you understand how advanced ML algorithms work and shows you practical examples of how they can be applied to security-specific problems with Python? by using open source datasets or instructing you to create your own. In one exercise, you?ll also use GPT 3.5, the secret sauce behind Chat GPT, to generate an artificial dataset of fabricated news. Later, you?ll find out how to apply the expert knowledge and human-in-the-loop decision-making that is necessary in the cybersecurity space. This book is designed to address the lack of proper resources available for individuals interested in transitioning into a data scientist role in cybersecurity. It concludes with case studies, interview questions, and blueprints for four projects that you can use to enhance your portfolio.By the end of this book, you?ll be able to apply machine learning algorithms to detect malware, fake news, deep fakes, and more, along with implementing privacy-preserving machine learning techniques such as differentially private ML.What you will learn Use GNNs to build feature-rich graphs for bot detection and engineer graph-powered embeddings and features Discover how to apply ML techniques in the cybersecurity domain Apply state-of-the-art algorithms such as transformers and GNNs to solve security-related issues Leverage ML to solve modern security issues such as deep fake detection, machine-generated text identification, and stylometric analysis Apply privacy-preserving ML techniques and use differential privacy to protect user data while training ML models Build your own portfolio with end-to-end ML projects for cybersecurity Who this book is for This book is for machine learning practitioners interested in applying their skills to solve cybersecurity issues. Cybersecurity workers looking to leverage ML methods will also find this book useful. An understanding of the fundamental machine learning concepts and beginner-level knowledge of Python programming are needed to grasp the concepts in this book. Whether you?re a beginner or an experienced professional, this book offers a unique and valuable learning experience that?ll help you develop the skills needed to protect your network and data against the ever-evolving threat landscape.10 Machine Learning Blueprints You Should Know for Cybersecurity: Protect your systems and boost your defenses with cutting-edge AI techniques 1st Edition is written by Rajvardhan Oak and published by Packt Publishing.
