AI techniques play an increasingly important role for modern security mechanisms. They are crucial for timely detection of attacks, discovery and analysis of security vulnerabilities, analysis of malicious software. On the other hand, AI methods themselves can be victims of data manipulation and poisoning, or be used by attackers for malicious purposes. AI and Security provides on overview of selected applications of AI techniques in security and reveals the fundamental mechanisms required for assessment of security of AI. Specific topics covered by the course include but are not limited to the following:
- AI methods for intrusion detection
- Malware analysis by means of AI methods
- AI methods for network security
- Data manipulation attacks against AI methods
- Security of AI in practical context
- Offensive AI
