Ask HN: Best resources to learn about security for non-technical person

5 pointsby yousifaabout 8 years ago
A friend who works in sales at Cylance wants to learn more about her field. She is non-technical and wants a general understanding of what their products to and how they do it. I haven&#x27;t found resources that are not meant for technical readers. Any ideas?<p>What they do using ML:<p>-Intrusion detection<p>-Antivirus<p>-Malware detection

Can&#x27;t help with security specific stuff, but the following helped me better understand ML (note: I am &#x27;technical&#x27;. But I think it&#x27;s an approachable explanation of the topic)<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.r2d3.us&#x2F;visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.r2d3.us&#x2F;visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1&#x2F;</a>
