DeepLocker: How AI Can Power a Stealthy New Breed of Malware
Channel: IBM Research
Date: 2018-08-09

At IBM Research, we are constantly studying the evolution of technologies, capabilities and techniques in order to identify and predict new threats and stay ahead of cybercriminals. One of the outcomes, which we will present at the Black Hat USA 2018 conference, is DeepLocker, a new breed of highly targeted and evasive attack tools powered by AI.

IBM Research developed DeepLocker to better understand how several existing AI models can be combined with current malware techniques to create a particularly challenging new breed of malware. This class of AI-powered evasive malware conceals its intent until it reaches a specific victim. It unleashes its malicious action as soon as the AI model identifies the target through indicators like facial recognition, geolocation and voice recognition.
