Real-world Examples of AI and ML Applications in Cybersecurity.

Threat Detection and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).

Malware Detection. Real-world Example: Antivirus software classifies infections, Trojans, and ransomware using machine learning. Based on behavioral analysis, it can detect zero-day attacks. Elaboration: ML models inspect files and programs to determine their maliciousness. These algorithms continuously learn and adapt to new viruses, boosting detection..

Email Security and Phishing Detection. Real-world: Phishing detection is possible with AI-driven email security. They can filter suspicious emails in users' inboxes. Elaboration: ML algorithms identify phishing emails using content, sender behavior, and trends. They also recognize sophisticated phishing attempts that impersonate authentic communication [38].

Highlighting Successful Implementations and Outcomes.

Case 1: Home Monitoring and Remote Management. Implementation: Wearable technologies like Tandem Diabetes Care's Basal-IQ insulin pump track chronic conditions like diabetes using ML. Outcome: ML algorithms predict and control glucose levels, improving the treatment of diabetes. Successful outcomes include better glucose control and patient monitoring..

Case 2: Feature Detection and Diagnosis Support. Implementation: X-rays and fundus pictures are processed with ML to aid diagnosis. Diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and coronary artery disease assessment tools from Heart Flow are discussed. Outcome: The sensitivity and specificity of ML-based diagnostic tools often exceed human graders at 90%. Without invasive procedures, illness diagnosis is accurate and efficient.
