The internet is becoming a widely used source of both online services and
information. The primary function of the internet is to move data between
nodes. It is a vast collection of interconnected devices and computers, and it
has become the target of different cybercrimes. Due to the rapid development
of the internet and the increasing number of cyber-attacks, the detection of
these attacks has become more important. The traditional security methods
are not enough to face these threats; thus, researchers have been developing
smarter techniques such as deep learning and machine learning to address
these problems. This chapter explores the various aspects of deep learning and
machine learning on information security. It also focuses on the challenges
and motivations of this new technology. This chapter reviewed previously
conducted surveys and papers in the last two years in the field; thus, it can
be used by researchers who are interested in learning more about the various
aspects and trends of deep learning and machine learning in information
security.
