Читать книгу Intelligent Security Systems - Leon Reznik - Страница 15

The book is oriented toward computer security practice, not its mathematical foundations. The book will teach how to design the prolific computer security systems and tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, anti‐malware protection systems, hacking activities, and attacks recognition tools. The readers will gain deeper understanding of those systems and tools design. While discussing machine learning and data science algorithms, it does not go deep in mathematical details but prefers concentrating on possible applications.

Some other manuscripts claim to provide a comprehensive coverage of either the computer security or the artificial intelligence, machine learning, or data science domain. With both domain’s extremely wide content areas, this book is not aiming at the full review of two of the currently hottest areas in modern engineering and technology. Instead, the book is fully devoted to the exposure of applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science in the design and analysis of computer security systems, mechanisms, and tools as well as solving other security problems. It will discuss an application of intelligent techniques in firewalls, intrusion detection, malware detection, hacking activity recognition, and system security evaluation. It will review various attacks against computer security, ranging from simple phishing inquires to sophisticated attacks against intelligent classifiers based on machine learning techniques. While not giving 100% exposure of computer security or artificial intelligence domains, the book will deal with the most important growing areas of both fields. And the coverage ratio will increase as a bigger and bigger part of real computer security activities becomes stronger and stronger dependent on the artificial intelligence. With this knowledge, the readers will become frontrunners in the design of novel cybersecurity tools and mechanisms needed to protect computer networks and systems and national infrastructure.
