“Deep learning applications for cyber security addresses interdisciplinary topics that make deep learning a tool of major interest for cybersecurity. … This is why the book is recommended for researchers and students, as well as for all those interested in applying deep learning as part of cybersecurity products or platforms.” (Eugen Petac, Computing Reviews, May 7, 2021)
