malware menacing staff network
Phuck off, phishers! JPMorgan Chase crafts AI to sniff out malware menacing staff networks
JPMorgan Chase is integrating AI into its internal security systems to thwart malware infections within its own networks. A formal paper [PDF] emitted this month by techies at the mega-bank describes how deep learning can be used to identify malicious activity, such as spyware on staff PCs attempting to connect to hackers' servers on the public internet. It can also finger URLs in received emails as suspicious. And it's not just an academic exercise: some of these AI-based programs are already in production use within the financial giant. The aim is, basically, to detect and neutralize malware that an employee may have accidentally installed on their workstation after, say, opening a booby-trapped attachment in a spear-phishing email.
