Focused Session

Session Leader: Islam Tharwat, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at the School of Information Technology and Computer Sciences at Nile University, and Chair of Awareness and Customer Advocacy S/C at IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitor Program (DVP).

Session Title: “Harnessing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity”

Session Synopsis:

Because of their ability to rapidly analyze millions of events and identify a wide range of threats, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) have emerged as critical technologies in information security, from malware exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities to identifying risky behavior that could lead to a phishing attack or the download of malicious code. These systems learn over time, depending on previous experiences to recognize new hazards in the present. Some of the themes of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Zero Trust models and zero-day attacks.
• Intrusion deception techniques.
• Attack detection and defending.
• Information-theoretic security and privacy.
• Autonomous intrusion response systems.
• Data confidentiality and privacy.
• Authentication and access control.
• Application of efficient machine intelligence to cybercrimes and attacks.
• Efficient machine intelligence application to cybercrimes and attacks.

Dr. Tharwat will lead the discussion drawing on recent scientific research, case studies, and experiences to help information security teams reduce breach risks and improve their security posture efficiently and effectively.
