The challenge found FireEye Endpoint Security to deliver the
best performance based on the criteria and cost-benefit framework.
This includes accuracy metrics, time to detection in terms of costs
lost due to malware and the monetary cost for setup, triage and
incident response. The malware collection used also spanned
categories likely to be seen in the real-world to produce the most
effective evaluation.
Managed by Program Executive Office (PEO) for Command, Control,
Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) and Space System’s
Cyber Security Program Office (PMW 130), AI ATAC explored the
capability for endpoint security products to incorporate machine
learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models to detect and
defeat indicators of compromise from various advanced malware
strains.
“A security analyst’s time is valuable, and very limited.
MalwareGuard, our machine learning-based malware detection and
prevention engine, was developed by a world-class team of data
scientists, combining our unique data with frontline intelligence
to enable our clients to focus on the threats that matter – not the
false positives,” said Seth Summersett, Chief Scientist at FireEye.
“We are honored to be recognized for this innovation and to support
the Navy as they continue to hone cyber security solutions that
will keep the fleet safe today and into the future.”
FireEye sees this prize challenge as a breakthrough in cyber
security innovation for the Navy, as it continues to defend against
sophisticated threat actors from the Cloud to the Tactical Edge. An
advanced, threat-informed endpoint security solution is
foundational in the next generation of truly countering cyber
warfare and can help meet the complex operational needs of the
Navy’s Enterprise, Tactical, and Excepted Networks, specifically as
it builds out resilient capabilities in its Security Operations
Centers (SOCs), Fleet Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs), Systems
Command (SYSCOM), Cyber Planning and Response Centers (CPRCs),
Afloat and Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs) missions.
Winners of the AI ATAC were announced on March 3 during WEST
2020 at the San Diego Convention Center. For more information on
