MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR DETECTION OF CYBER THREATS USING LOGISTIC REGRESSION

Abstract

The threat of cyberattacks is expanding globally; thus, businesses are developing intelligent artificial intelligence systems that can analyze security and other infrastructure logs from their systems department and quickly and automatically identify cyberattacks. Security analytics based on machine learning the next big thing in cybersecurity is machine data, which aims to mine security data to show the high maintenance costs of static relationship rules and methods. But, choosing the appropriate machine learning technique for log analytics using ML continues to be a significant barrier to AI success in cyber security due to the possibility of a substantial number of false-positive detections in large-scale or global Security Operations Centre (SOC) settings, selecting the proper machine learning technique for security log analytics remains a substantial obstacle to AI success in cyber security. A machine learning technique for a cyber threat exposure system that can minimize false positives is required. Today's machine learning methods for identifying threats frequently use logistic regression. Logistic regression is the first of three machine learning subcategories—supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Any machine learning enthusiast will encounter this supervised machine learning algorithm at the beginning of their machine learning career. It's an essential and often applied classification algorithm.
