| Requirements (contentual): | 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. |
| Learning objectives: | 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. |
| Content: | 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. |
| Literature: | * Lecture notes, research papers, and case study materials will be provided as part of lecture material.
