Cybersecurity operators have increasingly relied on machine learning to address a rising number of threats. But will machine learning give them a decisive advantage or just help them keep pace with attackers? This report explores the history of machine learning in cybersecurity and the potential it has for transforming cyber defense in the near future.

CSET Senior Fellow Andrew Lohn weighs the strengths and weakness of AI used in cybersecurity.

How does big tech affect national security? CSET experts Ben Buchanan, Katerina Sedova, and Lorand Laskai give their input in this Foreign Affairs survey.

New analytic tools are used in this data brief to explore the public artificial intelligence (AI) research portfolio of China’s security forces. The methods contextualize Chinese-language scholarly papers that claim a direct working affiliation with components of the Ministry of Public Security, People's Armed Police Force, and People’s Liberation Army. The authors review potential uses of computer vision, robotics, natural language processing and general AI research.

CSET Senior Fellow Andrew Lohn's work on machine learning vulnerabilities is cited in this article on the Department of Defense's efforts to adopt artificial intelligence technologies for a host of functions.

CSET Research Analyst Dakota Cary discusses the differences in work culture between cybersecurity workers in China and the United States.

Six Chinese universities have relationships with Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) hacking teams. Their activities range from recruitment to running cyber operations. These partnerships, themselves a case study in military-civil fusion, allow state-sponsored hackers to quickly move research from the lab to the field. This report examines these universities’ relationships with known APTs and analyzes the schools’ AI/ML research that may translate to future operational capabilities.

Cyber AI Director Ben Buchanan sat down with Scientific American to discuss the cyberattack on an Oldsmar, Florida water supply facility and how to protect public facilities in the future.

CSET's CyberAI Director Ben Buchanan discusses whether the Russian cyber hack was targeted to affect the U.S. court system.
