Using artificial intelligence to detect malicious activity
The NCSC continues to work with the Alan Turing Institute (the national institute for data science and artificial intelligence) to explore whether machine learning can be used to detect certain types of cyber attack. The research built on the capabilities of ‘Logging Made Easy’, a tool developed by the NCSC that helps organisations set up a basic end-to-end monitoring of their IT estate. This research has improved our understanding of how we can use artificial intelligence to detect malicious activity.
