Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\nAustralia Post has partnered with AI security company Alpha Level to bolster its cyber defenses and speed up detection threat across its network.
\nAlpha Level will apply machine learning to help efficiently collect, process and analyze billions of data points to boost the speed and accuracy of threat identification. Machine learning enables systems to rapidly analyze large data sets, learning patterns and improving decision-making over time without needing explicit programming.<\/p>\n

Australia Post chief information security officer Adam Cartwright said the partnership with Alpha Level will enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Australia Post\u2019s cybersecurity measures.
\n\u201cEach month, our systems generate around four billion data points \u2013 from network traffic to security logs \u2013 which our team assesses for signs of malicious activity. It\u2019s a complex, time-consuming task.
\n\u201cMachine learning helps by building models that understand what \u2018good\u2019 looks like in that data, allowing us to detect threats faster and more accurately. This not only speeds up detection but strengthens our overall security in an increasingly complex digital environment.
\n\u201cBy bolstering our cyber posture, we\u2019re not only protecting Australia Post\u2019s infrastructure \u2013 we\u2019re also helping to lift the security of the thousands of licensed post offices and small businesses that depend on our network to serve their communities,\u201d said Cartwright.
\nAlpha Level was founded by Dr Josh Neil, a former principal data scientist at Microsoft with a PhD from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Neil said the partnership demonstrates how advanced machine learning can strengthen cyber defense at scale.
\n\u201cBy embedding world-class machine learning into Australia Post\u2019s security operations, we\u2019re helping to elevate threat detection speed and precision \u2013 ensuring resilience against the increasingly complex challenges in today\u2019s digital landscape,\u201d said Dr Neil.
\nAustralia Post\u2019s partnership with Alpha Level will deploy AI models that can efficiently sift through vast amounts of security alerts, reducing noise and isolating true threats for analysts to test.
\n\u201cWhile we have a highly skilled team, bringing in global expertise, the team at Alpha Level helps us stay ahead of evolving threats and gives our people the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the field,\u201d Mr Cartwright added.
