Machine Lea ning (ML)
Machine lea ning is all abou eaching

ecognize wha ’s no mal and wha ’s no .
Wi h supe ised ML, he sys em is

Risk Managemen Me hods:
1. Th ea & Anomaly De ec ion: AI uses
machine lea ning models like Random Fo es s

2. Risk Assessmen & P edic ion: By
analyzing pas a acks, AI can p edic whe e

isk sco ing sys ems by ac o ing in how likely
a h ea is o be exploi ed and wha i s impac

like unusual login pa e ns o la ge da a

AI enhances isk managemen by
