• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence brings innovations into the society. However, bias and unethical exist in many algorithms that make the applications less trustworthy. Threats hunting algorithms based on machine learning have shown great advantage over classical methods. Reinforcement learning models are getting more accurate for identifying not only signature-based but also behavior-based threats. Quantum mechanics brings a new dimension in improving classification speed with exponential advantage. In this research, we developed a machine learning based cyber threat detection and assessment tool. It uses two stage, unsupervised and supervised learning, analyzing method on log data recorded from a web server on AWS cloud. The results show the algorithm has the ability to identify cyber threats with high confidence.

  Before the rise of machine learning, network anomalies which could imply an attack, were detected using well-crafted rules. With the advancements of machine learning for network anomaly, it is not easy for a human to understand how to bypass a cyber-defence system. In this paper, we show that even if we build a classifier and train it with adversarial examples for network data, we can use adversarial attacks and successfully break the system.
