Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Development Task: Individually select and justify, through the use of a specified scenario, the use of Artificial intelligence for a particular application. Learners a portfolio to include a written report and development artefact. Working individually, demonstrate the critical selection and implementation of appropriate technologies by applying AI techniques to a cybersecurity challenge, which will include algorithm selection and configuration, implementation, experimental design, and empirical evaluation.

Written Assignment

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is the study and development of intelligent behaviour exhibited in computational form. Its purpose is to demonstrate intelligent characteristics that provide enriched system functionality beyond that of traditional software systems. The benefits of AI spreads across many application areas, and one such area is that of cyber security. Artificial intelligence can be loosely categorised into symbolic and statistical approaches, which are often used depending on application requirements. In this module, you will study the different types of AI systems and focus on their different application use cases in cyber security. You will learn different techniques, such as Hidden Markov Models, Support Vector Machines to understand the fundamentals of AI technology. This module has a strong application focus, ensuring you gain knowledge and experience of how these techniques can be used in security in applications such as malware analysis, intrusion detection, and security policy analysis.</p>
