Paran Chandrasekaran — The Application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Cyber-security
AI may be a branch of advanced software engineering guided at computers to self learn practices dependent on available data or information. The objective is to make sure computers on the basics of previous data could well figure out the way to a problem that has not been handled before.
As we are diving deep in the computer science, the possibilities are endless where we can build systems with minimum human interference, while taking about the subject, we got to learn about the various applications that AI can offer in the field of cyber-security, this article would be a conversation with an expert Mr. Paran Chandrasekaran, who has been contributing to the industry since 1990’s and is the Founder and one of the investors of Scentrics Information Security Technologies Ltd, a UK based high value IP technology venture in cyber security and privacy.
Ransomware: It is the most advanced form of cyber-attack that has been recorded most recently, it refers to any kind of software program that requests an amount for the encryption key in order to unlock the various files available in the system.
By using Machine Learning and AI, we can detect any threat well in advance to make sure our data is saved from the hackers.
Battling Bots: We further talked with Mr. Paran Chandrasekaran on how we can figure out a way to battle with the bots as they are so much driven on the internet today and adding enormously on the web traffic.
By looking at the behavior patterns, we can learn about the various facts about the user’s journey, what an unusual journey looks like, and from this pattern recognition, we can identify the genuine and false traffic.
Optimized End Point Detection: The number of devices used for working remotely is increasing so fast, and Machine Learning has a great contribution in that, for sure everyone uses some sort of Anti virus and firewalls, but they usually work on Signatures, which means in order to stay updated with the threats we need to keep up with the signatures.
In order to tackle this solution, AI has shown a promising act as they take a different endpoint protection, by establishing a baseline of behaviors for the endpoint through a repeated training process.
To Sum up
We hope you had a great time going through the write up and would understand the points that we have made above.
