Cyber Security is an area of growth with employment opportunities abound. Many universities in Australia and overseas have started offering niche cyber security programs. Along the same note, there is a growth in the number of research students in Cyber Security, indicating demand for this upcoming domain. Recent trends indicate that machine learning is a key aspect in Cyber Security due to the volume of information crossing global networks, and the individual data associated with this information. In this workshop, we will be discussing the modern machine learning algorithm development, implementation and utilisation in business scenarios specific to Cyber Security.
