Can machine learning come to the rescue? The question, then, is whether we can automate this process of malware detection with machine learning? Machine learning, which enables systems to learn from data sets without having to be programmed specifically, would be the next best weapon in this cyber war, Trend Micro security experts believe. Trend Micro cautions, though, that ransomware such as Cerber has the ability to avoid detection by machine learning security solutions. Sison concluded, “Solutions that rely on a variety of techniques, and are not overly reliant on machine learning, can still protect customers against these threats.”
