Machine Learning: Here's What You Need to Know
Machine learning involves the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide systems with the ability to learn and improve based on experience. It emphasizes the use of computer programs that can access and analyze data instantly, learn from this information and use it to quickly deploy meaningful improvements across a business.
The global machine learning market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44.1 percent between 2017 and 2022, according to market research firm MarketsandMarkets. Moreover, MarketsandMarkets has projected the global machine learning market could be worth $8.8 billion by 2022.
Machine learning could transform operations in many industries, including the cybersecurity sector. As such, many companies are already searching for ways to integrate machine learning capabilities into their cybersecurity solutions.
For example, Splunk today acquired SignalSense, a company that offers cloud-based data collection and breach detection solutions that leverage machine learning, for an undisclosed sum. The SignalSense acquisition will help Splunk incorporate SignalSense machine learning capabilities into its operational intelligence and log management solutions, the company said in a prepared statement.
