New technologies to address “malicious software”

Preventing malware attacks before they can happen has been a top priority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate’s (S&T) Cyber Security Division (CSD), who have been developing two new technologies to address “malicious software”.

The two technologies, AMICO and ZeroPoint, aim to send malware alerts in real time, classify malware for future attacks and inspect data to identify what the malware aims to do, and stop it before it does harm.
