Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity

By: Alessandro Parisi

Overview of this book

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.

GAN Python tools and libraries

The number of tools and libraries (both to carry out attacks and to defend from attacks) for developing adversarial examples is constantly growing. We will look at some of the most common examples of these. In this section, we will consolidate the general-use libraries and tools, and in the following sections, we will deal with libraries and specific tools based on the individual strategies and scenarios of attack and defense.

To fully understand the usefulness of these tools and libraries, we need to analyze the vulnerabilities of the cybersecurity solutions based on neural networks, the possibilities involved in the implementation of the attacks, and the difficulties in preparing an appropriate defense.
