Abstract: Leveraging AI for Cyber Security. In February 2011 an historic event took place. IBM’s Watson computer competed against the two biggest winners of the TV quiz show Jeopardy! — and the Watson won. Since that time artificial intelligence (AI) has found its way into increasingly more and different types of applications ranging from cancer treatment to cyber security. This session will provide an overview of some of the various AI technologies and how they are being used to give the good guys an unfair advantage in the cyber war.
