The AI and Cyber Security Association (AICSA) is proud to announce that its Founder and CEO, Lisa Ventura MBE FCIIS, has published her new book, Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Use AI to Protect Your Organization, with leading independent publisher Kogan Page. The book is now available from koganpage.com, Amazon and all leading bookshops and online retailers.
The publication represents years of work at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity and fills a significant gap in the market for a practical, accessible guide aimed directly at security leaders navigating one of the most rapidly evolving areas in the industry. As AI becomes an operational necessity in cybersecurity rather than a nice to have, the book equips professionals with the strategic, informed approach needed to harness its power effectively.
Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity is structured in two comprehensive sections. The first explores the rise of AI in cybersecurity, covering the fundamentals of machine learning and deep learning, AI applications in intrusion detection systems, behavioural analysis and anomaly detection, natural language processing for threat intelligence, AI-driven malware detection, predictive analytics, autonomous response systems, AI-powered security operations centres (SOCs), and the ethical and regulatory considerations shaping the field. The second section focuses on practical implementation, guiding readers through proactive threat detection, network and cloud security, identity and access management, security orchestration and automation, workforce upskilling, and the critical task of evaluating the return on investment of AI-based defence strategies.
The book also addresses the darker side of AI and how adversaries are exploiting it to develop new and more sophisticated cyberattacks, ensuring readers are equipped to confront both sides of the evolving landscape.
Lisa Ventura MBE FCIIS is the Chief Executive and Founder of Unity Group Solutions Limited and the Founder and CEO of the AICSA, the world’s first global trade association dedicated to the convergence of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Information Security, Lisa was awarded an MBE by King Charles III for her services to cybersecurity and diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. She is also the Founder of Cyber Security Unity, Neuro Unity and AI Unity, and is a passionate advocate for neuroinclusion and accessibility in the technology sector.
The response from the cybersecurity community has already been very positive. Industry colleagues have described the book as an absolute gamechanger, essential reading for cybersecurity professionals, and a valuable and educational resource for anyone affected by the impact of AI on privacy, security and autonomy.
Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Use AI to Protect Your Organization is available now in paperback (344 pages, £32.99) and hardback (£56.00). The ISBN is 978-1-3986-2464-1.
