Unterrichtssprache: Englisch
Turnus / Dauer: each summer term / one semester
Voraussetzungen (inhaltlich): Künstliche Intelligenz und Neuroinformatik (CS6395.000),  Security in IT-Systems (CS6935.000) Foundational knowledge on these topics is mandatory for this course! We strongly discourage from trying participation without this or equivalent knowledge.
Voraussetzungen (formal): -
Grundlage für (inhaltlich): Projects and M.Sc. theses in this area
Lernergebnisse: Upon completing this module, students will * understand existing threats to machine-learning as well as possible countermeasures, * understand the application of machine-learning in security and in particular network security for tasks like security monitoring and intrusion detection, * be able to implement robust and secure machine-learning systems, * have developed practical skills in using ML-based tools for solving real-world problems in (network-)security, * be able to implement and evaluate ML models for tasks such as anomaly detection, and malware identification.
Inhalt: The module provides an in-depth exploration of the intersection of ML, and (network-)security, focusing on: * Security of ML: Threats, risks, attack classes and mitigations. * Application of ML in IT-Security: Using ML to detect and mitigate cyber threats for tasks like intrusion detection, malware analysis, or phishing defense. * Case Studies: As part of the lab, students will be tasked with real-world scenarios from areas like security monitoring, anomaly, or phishing detection and challenged to innovate and enhance over existing solutions.
Literatur: * Lecture notes, research papers, and case study materials will be provided as part of lecture material. * Supplementing reading material: Clarence Chio, David Freeman, ‘Machine Learning and Security’, O’Reilly Media, Inc., ISBN: 9781491979907, https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/machine-learning-and/9781491979891/ (available as ebook in KIZ library)
Bewertungsmethode: Oral exams will be held on individual appointment after end of the lecture.
