Malware Detection with Deep Learning

The human mind is a fascinating entity. The power of our subconscious and unconscious mind is incredible. What makes this power real is our ability to continuously self-learn and adapt quickly. This amazing gift of nature can calculate billions of tasks before you even realize what it does. For decades, scientists have been trying to build machines that are able to do simultaneous tasks like the human mind does—in other words, systems that are able to perform a huge number of tasks efficiently and at incredible speeds. A subfield of machine learning called Deep Learning (DL) arose to help us build algorithms that work like the human mind and are inspired by its structure. Information security professionals are also intrigued by such techniques, as they have provided promising results in defending against major cyber threats and attacks...
