The researchers have developed a cloud-based machine learning system. The system intelligently predicts a risk when queried by a device and is able to block subsequent steps by the attacker.  The new layer of protection will go a long way in averting risk and protecting users from attacks.

Data driven decision

According to Microsoft, extensive research and experimentation drives the system’s data-driven decisions. As such, the attacks are actively blocked without interfering with customer experience. In addition, due to the adaptive protection being AI-driven, the score assigned to a device is based on a set of patterns and features. The system is then able to analyze the data and gauge whether the system is vulnerable. If users want to access the AI-driven protection, it is available to all Microsoft Defender for Endpoint customers that have enabled cloud protection. What do you think of Microsoft’s decision to thwart ransomware attacks with the new AI-powered protection? Let us know in the comment section below.
