How Security Companies Use AI In Antivirus

There are a few antivirus solutions that use advanced algorithms to protect your system, but the use of true AI is still rare. Still, there are several antivirus tools with excellent AI and ML implementations that show how the security industry is evolving to protect you from the latest threats.

Cylance Smart Antivirus

Cylance is a well-known name in machine learning and artificial intelligence cybersecurity. The enterprise-grade CylancePROTECT uses AI-techniques to protect a huge number of businesses, and they count several Fortune 100 organizations among their clientele. Cylance Smart Antivirus is their first foray into consumer antivirus products, bringing that enterprise-level AI protection into your home.

MCITP Database Administrator job role involves designing and developing logical data models, create physical databases and create data services by using Transact-SQL.

Cylance Smart Antivirus relies entirely on AI and ML to distinguish malware from legitimate data. The result is an antivirus that doesn't bog your system down by constantly scanning and analyzing files. (Or informing you of its status every 15-minutes.) Rather, Cylance Smart Antivirus waits until the moment of execution and immediately kills the threat---without human intervention.

"Consumers deserve security software that is fast, easy to use, and effective," said Christopher Bray, senior vice president, Cylance Consumer. "The consumer antivirus market is long overdue for a ground-breaking solution built on robust technology that allows them to control their security environment."

Smart Antivirus does, however, have some downsides. Unlike other antivirus suites with active monitoring, Cylance Smart Antivirus allows you to visit potentially malicious sites. I assume this is confidence that the product will stop malicious downloads, but it doesn't protect against phishing attacks or similar threats.

A single Cylance Smart Antivirus license costs $29 per year, while a $69 household pack lets you install on five different systems.
