About the book (from the publisher)

“AI for Cybersecurity” focuses on four interrelated defensive capabilities of deter, protect, detect and respond. The book examines the fundamentals of AI for cybersecurity as a multidisciplinary subject; describes how to design, build, and operate AI technologies and strategies to achieve a more secure cyberspace; and provides why-what-how of each AI technique-cybersecurity task pair to enable researchers and practitioners to make contributions to the field of AI for cybersecurity.

This book is aligned with the National Science and Technology Council’s 2023 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan and President Joe Biden’s executive order on the safe, secure and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence. Learning objectives and 200 illustrations are included throughout the text.

“AI for Cybersecurity” is an excellent reference for practitioners in AI for cybersecurity-related industries such as commerce, education, energy, financial services, health care, manufacturing and defense. Fourth-year undergraduates and postgraduates in computer science and related programs of study will also find it valuable.
