ML and AI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectives:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Examine the role of AI and ML in Cybersecurity
- Identify AI/ML classifications
- Define the 9 main Cybersecurity areas/categories that utilize AI/ML
- Determine how AI/ML aid in the prevention of cyber attacks

+ What is Artificial Intelligence?
  - Computers that are built to mimic human behavior
    + Specifically...
      - Problem Solving
      - Decision Making
+ What is Machine Learning?
  - Subset of AI
  - Gives the AI the ability to LEARN
    + **Learning Techniques**
      1. *Supervised Learning*
        + ML is provided with Labeled Datasets
          - These train the ML to classify data and/or to predict outcomes
        + 2 Problem Types (what problems does this solve?)
          - `Classification`
            + Classify or categorize data into defined groups
              - Apples and Oranges
              - Spam or Valid Email
          - `Regression`
            + Discerns the relationship between independent and dependent variables
            + Good at predicting numerical values
              - Sales revenue projections
      2. *Un-supervised Learning*
        + Analyze and cluster UNLABLED DATA SETS
          - Discovers hidden patterns without help from humans
        + 3 Problem Types
          - `Clustering`
            + Grouping unlabeled data based on similarities/differences
          - `Association`
            + Discovers relationships between variables in given dataset
              - Customers who bought this also bought x
          - `Dimensionality Reduction`
            + Reduces high number of data inputs to a manageable size
              - Reduction doesn't affect data integrity
                + Picture quality improvement algorithms
+ How is ML and AI being used in the Cybersecurity space?
  - Endpoint Security
  - Authentication
  - Phishing
  - Threat Detection
  - Vulnerability Assessment and Management
  - Behavioral Analysis
  - Network Security
  - AI vs AI
