Computer Security with Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science Combination

Abstract

The chapter discusses the basic concepts of computer security as well as the taxonomy and classification of the fundamental algorithms in the domains of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science in relation to their applications in computer security. It reviews the sources of security threats and the attacks, using the area of IoT and wireless devices as an example, as well as examines the possible protection mechanisms and tools. The module provides a general classification of intelligent approaches and their relationship to various computer security fields. It focuses on an introduction of the major intelligent techniques and technologies in computer security, such as expert systems, fuzzy logic, machine learning, artificial neural networks, and genetic algorithms. While presenting multiple techniques, the text emphasizes their advantage in comparison to each other as well as the obstacles in their further progress. Short algorithm descriptions and code examples are included.
