Course Overview

Machine Learning (ML) is rapidly becoming one of the most valuable tools in a cyber warrior’s toolkit. However, it can be difficult to start in ML or apply it to security problems.  This workshop offers a math-free overview of machine learning algorithms as well as their application to security problems.  Additionally we will present several use cases of machine learning as applied to security problems.
