The pros and cons of unsupervised learning in cybersecurity

Cybercriminals continue to disrupt current defense mechanisms through new methods by exploiting vulnerabilities, especially in the overlapping areas of machine and human interactions. Cybersecurity software has matured well in terms of reacting to breaches based on signatures. This mode of operation is not sustainable—especially as bad actors and cybercriminals are creating more new ways to attack security systems than ever before. In many cases, it may take up to six months to even detect a breach—and on top of that, there is an average of nearly 50 days between when a breach is discovered and when it is reported. With the cybercrime industry set…
