Week-1 Introduction to deep learning in cyber-security

INTRODUCTION TO DEEP LEARNING IN CYBER-SECURITY

Cyber-security is a very crucial issue in today's fast-growing digital world. Almost everything we do rely on the internet. There are numerous attacks that have been very common threats in a cyber society. Some of these are ransomware, DOS (Denial-of-service) attack, malware, viruses, etc. The existing methods used for cyber-security are largely signature oriented and it becomes difficult to identify and stop these attacks if they change their behaviors. I order to prevent these attacks it is also essential to detect them on a real-time basis. Due to such reasons identify malicious malware is becoming a challenging task. To solve this problem effectively, we use deep learning technology to identify attacks on real data.

Deep learning is an AI (Artificial intelligence) methodology. It is a subset of machine learning. Deep learning makes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). It has been proposed to use the methodology and the connectors used by the human brain to process the data and information. DL framework can be used for intrusion detection, phishing attacks, malware, and many major security threats. Deep learning methodology would not use predefined steps. It is designed to use the best options by themselves.
