Part 3 Beyond the basics: Advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI

Chapters 10–13 take you to a more sophisticated territory. After establishing a solid metrics practice in the first two parts, you’ll explore advanced cyber analytics that push your data beyond simple dashboards. You’ll learn how statistical methods can uncover hidden insights and how machine learning can automate pattern recognition in large-scale environments. Finally, you’ll see how generative AI opens new frontiers in threat detection, anomaly spotting, and even predictive modeling of future attacks. By the end of this section, you’ll be ready to harness cutting-edge technologies that turn security metrics into pro­active, intelligence-driven cyber defense.
