"World's Most Powerful Particle Collider Taps AI to Expose Hack Attacks"

CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research lab, which holds a computer grid that is used by thousands of physicists to view and examine data produced by the Large Hadron Collider for the purpose of further understanding the underlying structure of the universe. As computers within CERN’s grid constantly face threats of hacks, current detection systems have been deemed insufficient. Therefore, CERN’s cybersecurity department is working with machine learning software to automate the recognition of normal and abnormal behavior within the network, along with other security responses. This article further discusses the insufficiency of current detection systems within the grid, challenges of defending a computer grid, and the goal of implementing AI software.
