To cope with the competitive worldwide marketplace, organizations rely on business intelligence to an increasing extent. Cyber security is an inevitable practice to protect the entire business sector and its customer. This book presents the significance and application of cyber security for safeguarding organizations, individuals’ personal information and government. The book provides both practical and managerial implications of cyber security that also supports business intelligence and discusses the latest innovations in cyber security. It offers a roadmap to master’s degree students and Ph.D. researchers for cyber security analysis in order to minimize the cyber security risk and protect customers from cyber-attack. The book also introduces the most advanced and novel machine learning techniques including, but not limited to, Support Vector Machine, Neural Networks, Extreme Learning Machine, Ensemble Learning, and Deep Learning Approaches, with a goal to apply those on cyber risk management datasets. It will also leverage real-world financial instances to practice business product modelling and data analysis. The contents of this book will be useful for a wide audience who are involved in managing network systems, data security, data forecasting, cyber risk modelling, fraudulent credit risk detection, portfolio management, and data regulatory bodies. It will be particularly beneficial to academics as well as practitioners who are looking to protect their IT system, reduce data breaches and cyber-attack vulnerabilities.

This book presents the state-of-the-art applications of machine learning in the finance domain with a focus on financial product modeling, which aims to advance the model performance and minimize risk and uncertainty. It provides both practical and managerial implications of financial and managerial decision support systems which capture a broad range of financial data traits. It also serves as a guide for the implementation of risk-adjusted financial product pricing systems, while adding a significant supplement to the financial literacy of the investigated study. The book covers advanced machine learning techniques, such as Support Vector Machine, Neural Networks, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors, Extreme Learning Machine, Deep Learning Approaches, and their application to finance datasets. It also leverages real-world financial instances to practice business product modeling and data analysis. Software code, such as MATLAB, Python and/or R including datasets within a broad range of financial domain are included for more rigorous practice. The book primarily aims at providing graduate students and researchers with a roadmap for financial data analysis. It is also intended for a broad audience, including academics, professional financial analysts, and policy-makers who are involved in forecasting, modeling, trading, risk management, economics, credit risk, and portfolio management.
