AI Vs Malware - Machine Learning Cage Match

No ratings

Presented at BSidesVancouver 2019 by

Due to the wide range of readily-available resources for creating malicious payloads, such as coders for hire and Software as a Service, malware is an exponentially growing issue. Threat actors are able to rapidly assemble and deploy high volumes and varieties of malicious code to unsuspecting users. Current malware management models are simply overwhelmed or incapable of providing complete protection while reducing false positives toward that magical zero rate. During this session we will examine the history and workings of artificial intelligence. We will also explore a system comprised of highly efficient deep machine learning neural networks that are currently deployed to proactively defeat malware attacks against enterprises. We will then discuss the future of these systems and how they will be further leveraged into fighting cybercrime. AI is not just a concept or marketing buzz word - it is a functioning, operational game changer.
