Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning within the context of Cyber Security used in the UK SME sector

This extended abstract contains the ?nding of two broad studies. Each study examines ideas of the challenges arising from aspects of cyber security in using Intrusion Detection mechanisms together with Arti?cial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning techniques in the protection of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UK, for its operations and commercial environment. Both papers explored intrusion, detection, and prevention methods as a priority in the realisation of keeping their data secure and safe with the integration of real-world objects within the internet such as Machine Learning techniques and AI.
