"Machine learning can also aid the cyber enemy: NSA research head"

Cyber attackers are starting to utilize machine learning technology to launch their attacks. Dr. Deborah Frincke, head of the NSA/CSS Research Directorate talks about potential scenarios in which a malicious user could manipulate the machine learning process before it even begins.
