Ultra Secure Computers Watch You - Intel Proteus
[Edit]
[Edit]
In a new paradigm of security, Intel has developed security software that monitors and adjusts to the way an individual uses the Internet, providing a new dynamic approach to detecting attacks and malicious activity that helps reduce false positives or missing some security breaches. The software is aimed at corporations that distribute laptops and mobile devices to employees, since IT departments typically install the same one-size-fits-all security software on all their hardware which is not very effecient.
As part of a project called Proteus, Intel researchers have developed several algorithms that can make more nuanced judgments. One algorithm uses standard statistical and machine-learning techniques to monitor a person's Internet use and create individualized traffic thresholds. A second algorithm gauges how people's Internet use changes throughout the day. Taft has found that people's habits are significantly different when they use company laptops to log in to networks other than the company's. "Ninety percent of people have quite a different behavior when they're at work than when they're at home," she says. Tying different traffic thresholds to different location profiles could improve security software's ability to detect compromised machines.
