Key benefits

Identify and predict security threats using artificial intelligence
Develop intelligent systems that can detect unusual and suspicious patterns and attacks
Learn how to test the effectiveness of your AI cybersecurity algorithms and tools

Description

Today's organizations spend billions of dollars globally on cybersecurity. Artificial intelligence has emerged as a great solution for building smarter and safer security systems that allow you to predict and detect suspicious network activity, such as phishing or unauthorized intrusions. This cybersecurity book presents and demonstrates popular and successful AI approaches and models that you can adapt to detect potential attacks and protect your corporate systems. You'll learn about the role of machine learning and neural networks, as well as deep learning in cybersecurity, and you'll also learn how you can infuse AI capabilities into building smart defensive mechanisms. As you advance, you'll be able to apply these strategies across a variety of applications, including spam filters, network intrusion detection, botnet detection, and secure authentication. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to develop intelligent systems that can detect unusual and suspicious patterns and attacks, thereby developing strong network security defenses using AI.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a cybersecurity professional or ethical hacker who wants to build intelligent systems using the power of machine learning and AI, you’ll find this book useful. Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts and knowledge of Python programming is essential to get the most out of this book.

Jan McSweeney Dec 01, 2019

Python has a high profile with cyber security professionals and data scientists being the language of choice for many. The term “artificial intelligence” (AI) can often be a marketing device but this does not apply in the eBook ‘Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity’. Author, Dr Alessandro Parisi, illuminates the term ‘AI’ shedding light upon its employment of perceptrons, the single and especially the multi layer which shows the highest degree of accuracy in predictions, and its analogy with the human brain. The text demonstrates that predictive analytics will result in many security tasks (zero-days detection, uncommon network threats detection, etc.) becoming automated, enabling the analyst to engage in the most noteworthy and challenging threats inspection, detection and resolution, leaving the triage phase to the machine. Another user-friendly design feature is the organisation of the text which provides the python expert and the non-python literate professional, such as myself, the ability to flick back & forth and gain immediate value from the important insights shared. The overall strategy is compelling and its guidance value, for data scientists and cyber security professionals, indispensable – a powerful tool in an AI arsenal.

Nothing "hands on" about this book - unless you call instructions for installing Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook "hands-on AI for cybersecurity". Other than that, it's a very wordy primer on what Machine Learning is, and how pieces of it might be used by someone. No code, no examples in the book. Needs an editor to rework it, and change the title to something like "Overview of Machine Learning Concepts". No AI, no 'hands-on". If you want a quick but overly-wordy primer on ML concepts, buy it. Otherwise, pass.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
