Machine Learning Better Future in Security or Chaos

Learning: ESET thoroughly analyzes the role of Artificial Intelligence ahead of Mobile World Congress 2019. According to a relevant survey by the company, 80% of participants believe that AI and Machine Learning technologies will help fight cyber threats

The debate over Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken on great proportions nowadays. The idea of ​​an everyday life full of smart machines seems real through the images created by marketing, but in reality we are still very far from such a scenario. Machine Learning

In this context, in recent months ESET researchers have been diligently investigating the role of AI (Machine Learning - ML) in combating cyber threats.

The results of this ESET survey were collected in a comprehensive report entitled "Machine-Learning Era in Cybersecurity: A Step Towards a Safer World or the Brink of Chaos?", which was recently made public on the occasion of the Mobile World Congress.

In mid-2018, ESET commissioned this research to examine what the core technology beliefs are. 82% of respondents believe that their organization has already used a cybersecurity solution that utilizes ML technology, while only 23% said they do not plan to use an cyber security solution based on ML in the near future.

Even more important is the fact that 80% also believe that ML already helps or will help their body to detect and respond to threats faster, while 76% of respondents agree more or less that this technology will provide solutions to the problem of scarcity cybersecurity skills in the work environment.

Η ESET μετρά πάνω από 30 χρόνια εμπειρίας στην εξειδίκευση για την ασφάλεια στον κυβερνοχώρο και για περισσότερα από 20 χρόνια έχει εστιάσει στις της μηχανικής μάθησης. Βασισμένοι σε αυτή την εμπειρία, οι ειδικοί της έχουν αναπτύξει μια ισχυρή, ανθεκτική και πρωτοποριακή τεχνολογία μηχανικής μάθησης.

“ESET has integrated its own machine learning technology into the ESET LiveGrid® cloud system, which examines the object's 'reputation', i.e. whether the object has been flagged as malicious at some other time. Thanks to this integration, our customers, from simple home users to businesses of all sizes, enjoy its benefits ML

"Especially for large businesses, an even greater level of protection is achieved with ESET Dynamic Threat Defense, a cloud-based sandboxing solution for detecting new threats that were previously unknown," said Juraj Jánošík, ESET Researcher and Expert AI.

He adds that, although many areas of human activity have already undergone transformational changes thanks to Machine Learning, the greater and greater changes that machine learning we have not experienced them yet.

Machine Learning-based technologies will increasingly help combat it cyber fraud, in the assessment and of procedures, improving control procedures and developing new solutions to existing problems.

However, as with most innovations, machine learning has its drawbacks.

"As business, infrastructure and our personal lives increasingly enter the realm of digital technology, new risks are emerging. Cybercriminals can use Machine Learning in a number of ways: to power their malware, target specific victims and extract valuable data, target zero-day vulnerabilities, or protect compromised systems such as botnets", Says Jánošík.

The publication of the research coincides with the holding of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Juraj Jánošík, one of the authors of the relevant white paper, will be at the ESET stand (Hall 7, stand 7H41). THE ESET will continue to explore Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, presenting new research and important findings related to the security of devices – specifically on cyber threats on the Android platform – during the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which takes place on February 25-28, 2019 in Barcelona.

Those interested in learning more about ML's role in cyber security, such as on the abuse of machine learning by cybercriminals to translate the email and appear more trustworthy, or improve targeting of victims, its possible abuse to improve malicious content in the future, and the limitations of the technology, can read the report at WeLiveSecurity.com (PDF).

Although the press releases will be from very select to rarely, I said to go ... because sometimes the authors are hiding.
