This dissertation explores the application of machine learning methods to overcome the present challenges that affect two significant research areas in the cyber security domain: Android malware detection and Internet of Things (IoT) botnet detection. For Android malware detection, concept drift and cross-device detection issues are thoroughly explored, whereas, in the IoT domain, the impact of feature selection for attack detection systems and the feasibility of early IoT botnet detection are investigated.
