How machine learning and AI can help reduce the cyber-attacks

Abstract

According to Global cyber security company Kaspersky Lab South Africans have once again been warned to be careful in cyberspace with a 22% increase in malware attacks in the country in the first quarter of this year. It seems that every presentation from every security vendor begins with an introductory slide explaining how the number and complexity of attacks an organization faces have continued to grow exponentially. Of course, everyone from security operations center (SOC) analysts, who are drowning in alerts, to chief information security officers (CISOs), who are desperately trying to make sense of the trends in security, is acutely aware of the situation. The question is how do we, collectively, solve the problem of overwhelmed security teams?
