Concluding Remarks and Challenges for Future Research

This book presents one of the areas of the use of artificial intelligence techniques in tasks related to the security of IT systems. Due to the widespread use of Internet resources and the information collected there (from extremely sensitive data, such as information on human health, to various types of control systems, e.g., drinking water intakes, etc., or databases on the functioning of enterprises, banking systems available on-line), it is an extremely important and very wide field for the application of computational intelligence techniques. One may even be tempted to say that it is practically impossible, due to the amount of data necessary to be processed in an extremely short time (real time), to operate IT security systems without the use of the latest discoveries in the field of AI. This book presents the concept of building novel structures of neural networks using the so-called glial cells. It also shows the possibilities of using computational intelligence techniques in tasks related to ensuring the security of computer networks – searching for anomalies or building user profiles based on the history of generated traffic.
