Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a vital, well-established tool across sectors like finance and risk management. Within cybersecurity, NLP is crucial for extracting and analyzing information, data annotation, developing detection protocols, and malware classification. Today some of its key roles include extracting indicators of compromise from unstructured data and automating threat intelligence reporting. Contrary to popular belief, the field is open to everyone; with some programming skills and a dash of creativity, anyone can start and get some results pretty quickly. This workshop is an introduction for total beginners, where no prior knowledge in natural language processing or machine learning is required.
