The book is divided into four sections, one addressing each underlying concept and the final section discussing integrating them to harness their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the expected growth of AI and machine learning (ML), cybersecurity professionals must understand its core concepts to defend AI and ML-based systems. Also, most cybersecurity tools now incorporate AI and ML. However, many cybersecurity professionals lack a fundamental understanding of AI and ML. The book's first section aims to demystify AI and ML for cybersecurity practitioners by exploring how AI and ML systems work, where they are vulnerable, and how to defend them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNext, we turn our attention to security automation. Human-centered cyber defense processes cannot keep pace with the threats targeting organizations. Security automation can help defenders drastically increase the speed of detection and response. This section will discuss core use cases that security teams can implement, including intelligence processing, incident triage, detection, and response. This section will end with strategies for a successful security automation implementation and strategies that can lead to failure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccelerating the defense is but one side of the equation. Defenders can also implement ACD methods to disrupt and slow the attacker. Of course, ACD spans a broad spectrum, including some that could raise legal and ethical concerns. This section will explore some ACD methods and discuss their applicability, as well as the need to include business, legal, and ethical considerations when implementing them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSecurity teams often treat AI, automation, and ACD as disparate solutions, addressing specific problems. However, there is much overlap, and security teams must develop a cohesive approach to realize the full potential. The last section combines these three concepts to form a comprehensive strategy. The resulting strategy will have AI as the foundation, incorporating automation to speed up defense and ACD to disrupt the attacker.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the many uses of AI and ML and the concepts underpinning these technologies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn how to protect AI and ML systems by recognizing the vulnerabilities throughout their lifecycle.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrate AI and ML-based systems to enhance cybersecurity.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop security automation processes to enhance situation awareness, speed the time to respond, and increase the bandwidth of the limited security operations staff.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop an ACD strategy to slow the attackers while minimizing legal and ethical concerns.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign a comprehensive strategy with AI as the foundation, incorporating automation to speed up defense and ACD to disrupt the attacker.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho This Book is for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe primary audience is cybersecurity professionals looking to improve their organization's security posture by leveraging AI and ML-based security tools and combining them into a comprehensive strategy incorporating automation and ACD.

He has broad practical experience implementing numerous cybersecurity solutions and is an accomplished presenter on securing machine learning, generative AI, security automation, and deception. In addition to his professional experience, Donnie is an adjunct professor of cybersecurity at Utica University. He earned a Doctorate in Computer Science from Colorado Technical University and a Master's in Cybersecurity from Utica University. After over 30 years in information technology, Donnie wants to share his knowledge with others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe initial concept for the book arose from Donnie's doctoral dissertation, where he researched using security automation and deception to address both sides of the cyber defense equation. Over the past several years, AI has come to the forefront and is now used in many products, including cybersecurity solutions. Donnie realized that AI-powered solutions could provide the foundation to enhance his prior research. However, despite the prevalence of AI, many cybersecurity professionals do not understand its core concepts. Therefore, Donnie began his quest to educate colleagues on AI's power and associated risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44388613718151,"sku":"9798868809460","price":59.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/58NPX9uje39798868809460.webp?v=1775253014","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-cybersecurity-trinity-artificial-intelligence-automation-and-active-cyber-defense-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
