Deep Learning Applications for Cyber Security

Mamoun Alazab is an Associate Professor in the College of Engineering, IT and Environment at Charles Darwin University, Australia. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science from the Federation University of Australia, School of Science, Information Technology and Engineering. He is a cyber security researcher and practitioner with industry and academic experience. Alazab’s research is multidisciplinary that focuses on cyber security and digital forensics of computer systems with a focus on cybercrime detection and prevention. He has more than 100 research papers. He delivered many invited and keynote speeches, 22 events in 2018 alone. He convened and chaired more than 50 conferences and workshops. He works closely with government and industry on many projects. He is an editor on multiple editorial boards of international journals and a Senior Member of the IEEE. MingJian Tang is a Senior Data Scientist at Singtel Optus, Australia. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science from La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, in 2009. Previously he was a Data Scientist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. He has participated in several industry-based research projects including unsupervised fraud detection, unstructured threat intelligence, cyber risk analysis and quantification, and big data analysis.

“Deep learning applications for cyber security addresses interdisciplinary topics that make deep learning a tool of major interest for cybersecurity. … This is why the book is recommended for researchers and students, as well as for all those interested in applying deep learning as part of cybersecurity products or platforms.” (Eugen Petac, Computing Reviews, May 7, 2021)
