In cybersecurity, it's important to determine whether a user interaction or action represents an attack, followed by discerning the specific attack type and signature. Machine learning (ML) models and managed ML solutions like Microsoft Azure Machine Learning can help with this. In this course, learn how to create an Azure Machine Learning workspace, read in data, and categorize all of the different types of attacks. Next, discover how to train a random forest classification model using the scikit-learn library and test it on the in-sample validation data. Finally, practice performing multiclass classification to identify the specific type of attack. Upon completion, you'll be able to detect intrusions using data, train and evaluate classification models, and perform multiclass classification.
