Malware and Anomaly Detection Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Methods
Valliammal Narayan, Barani Shaju · Advances in information security, privacy, and ethics book series · 2019
This chapter aims to discuss applications of machine learning in cyber security and explore how machine learning algorithms help to fight cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks are wide and varied in multiple forms. The key benefit of machine learning algorithms is that it can deep dive and analyze system behavior and identify anomalies which do not correlate with expected behavior. Algorithms can be trained to observe multiple data sets and strategize payload beforehand in detection of malware analysis.
