MIT bets on deep learning to fight cybercrime
By Jurgita LapienytÄ—, Cyber News Despite best efforts and innovation, cybercrime is on the rise. MIT scientists and leading network defenders urge to explore deep learning to secure systems. In the first quarter of 2022 alone, there were 404 publicly reported data breaches in the US. Ransomware breaches increased by 13% in a single year. “No wonder an increasing number of organizations are beginning to explore how deep learning, and its ability to mimic the human brain, can outsmart and outpace the world’s fastest and most dangerous cyber threats,” MIT Technology Review said in its research paper produced together with cybersecurity company Deep Instinct. MIT is looking at deep learning-driven malware prevention, hoping it could boost organizations in an innovation race against ransomware groups, enhancing their evasive capabilities, using sandbox detection or even adversarial artificial intelligence (AI.) Deep learning is the most advanced form of AI technology that uses neural n...
