Overview of this book

Designed to address the most common pain point for security teams—scalability—Security Automation with Python leverages the author’s years of experience in vulnerability management to provide you with actionable guidance on automating security workflows to streamline your operations and improve your organization’s overall security posture. What makes this book stand out is its hands-on approach. You won’t just learn theoretical concepts—you’ll apply Python-based automation techniques directly to real-world scenarios. Whether you're automating vulnerability scans, managing firewall rules, or responding to security incidents, this book provides clear examples and use cases, breaking down complex topics into easily digestible steps. With libraries like Paramiko, Requests, and PyAutoGUI, you’ll automate everything from network scanning and threat intelligence gathering to system patching and alert management. Plus, this book focuses heavily on practical tips for error handling, scaling automation workflows, and integrating Python scripts into larger security infrastructures. By the end of this book, you'll have developed a set of highly valuable skills, from creating custom automation scripts to deploying them in production environments, and completed projects that can be immediately put to use in your organization.

Implementing AI-driven security solutions with Python

The application of AI in cybersecurity is revolutionizing the way organizations protect their systems, data, and users. AI, particularly when combined with Python, offers powerful tools for detecting, analyzing, and responding to cyber threats in real time. Python’s vast ecosystem of libraries and its simplicity make it an ideal choice for building AI-driven security solutions. In this section, we will explore how to implement AI-based security systems using Python, from threat detection to automating IR.

Introducing AI in security

AI in cybersecurity refers to the use of intelligent systems that can autonomously learn from data, detect patterns, and make decisions to enhance the security posture of an organization. AI-driven security systems leverage ML, DL, and NLP to automate and optimize threat detection, vulnerability analysis, and response strategies.

Python plays a central role in AI and ML development due...
