Researchers Develop Program That Can Read Malware’s Mind


After a decade in development, researchers from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or ORNL, have unveiled a new type of malware detection program that points to the future of cybersecurity tools. It’s called Hyperion, after the Greek titan who first came to understand the movement of the sun and the moon. The product can predict whether or not a program is going to cause problems before the program actually executes. That’s significant, because for cybersecurity professionals it’s often hard to tell if a piece of malware is present and what it will do.
