6.  AI Privacy and Security

Cybersecurity professionals are in short supply. How can companies boost the efficiency of their existing cybersecurity staff? 

Automation and AI can help address the shortage of cybersecurity experts by analyzing complex issues, tracking malware infection paths, detecting insider attacks, and streamlining problem diagnosis and reporting data.

AI can detect and analyze complex patterns of malicious activity and quickly detect and respond to security threats. AI can also automate security processes, helping to reduce the time and effort needed to detect and respond to threats. Finally, AI can be used to detect and prevent malicious attacks before they can cause any damage. AI can also be used to identify and respond to new threats faster than traditional security processes. AI can continuously monitor for new security threats and alert system administrators when they are detected. As a result, organizations can be confident their systems are secure and up to date with the latest security protocols, protecting their data and applications from malicious actors. For instance, AI can identify unusual patterns in user behavior, flagging any suspicious activity for further investigation by security analysts. One concern with using AI for security is that it can create a false sense of security. If administrators rely too heavily on AI to secure their systems, they may become complacent and overlook other potential security threats. Additionally, AI-based security systems are not foolproof and can be fooled by sophisticated attackers. AI-based security systems provide improved accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional security solutions. As the French philosopher Henri Bergson once wrote: “Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.”

Enterprise security architect here and, while this sounds good on paper, if you are not extremely careful with how you secure what information you are training the models on you will end up in a mess. To put more plainly, unless your security configuration is perfect, having an automated tool scan for information and load it into a LLM NLP system for people to "chat" with is going to turn ugly very quickly. After over 30 years of experience, I have never seen a perfectly secure network or system configuration. One mistake and false positive or negative reporting is going to be the least of your concerns when the FINRA / ESMA auditors ask why you included these tools on the network... there is a use case but the path is loaded with land-mines.

What if I created Models which are domain specific ? Lets say for the example you illustrated there are multiple components like the Web Server,URI,IP Address , DNS etc. So let us assume the models are specifically trained on Web Server parameters (Mem/CPU/Web APplication Performance) , another model would be trained on the DNS data logs and so on . If the domain specific models could all work in tandem and a Parent model provides a final inference drawing from the inferences from the Domain Specific model. Do you think this is a possible option ? Additionally I would like to understand your views as to why LLM's prove an advantage for this use case .

I've been working as a software engineer for a few years. I'm getting my masters now and thinking about doing a pivot into security. My university does not offer much in security, so I have been learning ML/AI. Is it worth taking the CompTIA Security+ certification and then switching fields?

This is very interesting. Personally I am thinking to go the ai/ml route, how can I become someone who can do ai in cyber security? Like do I need knowledge in both fields or just someone who can help in cyber sec? Just a beginner so I could be wrong.
