Introduction
I.1 Who Is This Book For?
This book’s main goal is to provide help to its readers and users:
students in computer security, science, engineering, IT and information systems‐related fields, both undergraduate and graduate, looking for a textbook to gain the knowledge and skills at the intersection of computer security and artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science domains;
their instructors at the universities, colleges, and institutions of higher education looking for a textbook and curriculum materials (review and test questions, notes, exercises, slides) to use in developing new and modifying existing courses;
professionals in the computer security area looking for a reference book to upgrade their skills and better understand intelligent techniques;
professionals and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence and data science looking for advice on where and how to apply their knowledge and skills in computer security domain.
While reader’s general background in computing, networking, security, and artificial intelligence is desirable, the book is self‐contained and starts with a review of computer security and intelligent techniques that should provide a sufficient foundation for further study.
I.2 What Is This Book About?
This book aims at helping its readers to better understand how to apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science in the computer security domain. It will introduce readers into the current state of an application of intelligent methodologies in computer security and information assurance systems design. As the design and operation of most of computer security systems and tools are based on an application of intelligent techniques, gaining deeper understanding and practical skills in this field would allow the readers to get better prepared either to enter the workforce or to upgrade their skills. The book merges the most advanced methodologies of artificial intelligence and machine learning with their applications in cybersecurity. The readers will gain knowledge in the hottest area of the current computer science and will be able to employ it in solving cybersecurity problems.
Unfortunately, currently there exists a gap between computer security practice, where professionals mostly employ various tools, often without a deep understanding of their design and functionality principles and comprehension of computer science methods and algorithms in general, and artificial intelligence, machine learning techniques, and data science in particular. The students and even the professionals do not realize that most tools they employ in computer security have been designed based on an application of intelligent methodologies. This knowledge lack does not let them design better tools and even employ existing ones more effectively and efficiently. The unique approach of this book is that it is designated to fill this gap by concentrating on the design features of computer security tools and mechanisms on one hand and discussing how intelligent procedures are employed in the industrial practice.
This book idea is innovative and unique. It merges together various knowledge areas as diverse as artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques and computer security systems and applications. By going across traditional border lines between various disciplines, it will allow the readers
