Kapersky patent new technology to combat 'œsophisticated' malware

Business IT - Security

Inventor, Zaytsev says the patented system automatically aggregates statistics on programs and their activities, and it says, information is collected from event logs, system scan results and user records about quarantined files, with the data are used to identify malware, automatically generate scripts to remove detected threats and carry out an in-depth analysis of the system.

“The scripts generated by the system can be improved by computer security specialists, which may be beneficial in cases where the system does not have sufficient knowledge to develop and take decisions in complex situations. This allows subsequent problems of a similar nature to be resolved automatically. In other words, as the amount of statistical data collected increases with time, the system operates more effectively.

“This technology helps increase response times to newly emerging threats and streamlines the user’s communication with the technical support service. The fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence systems incorporated in the patented technology build up knowledge that can be classified and used to carry out self-training.”

According to Kaspersky, it currently has more than 30 patent applications pending in the US and Russia related to a range of innovative technologies developed by company personnel.
