Microsoft introduced Project Ire, an autonomous AI agent designed to detect malware without human involvement. This prototype reverse engineers software, determining its malicious or benign status by applying large language models and various analysis tools. In tests involving 4,000 files, Project Ire flagged 89 percent of malicious files correctly, although it only detected 26 percent of total malware. The technology promises to relieve security analysts from time-consuming tasks, allowing them to focus on more complex threats. Integration with Microsoft's Defender tools is planned to enhance threat detection and software classification capabilities.
Project Ire can detect malware independently by reverse engineering software without prior information about its origin, utilizing large language models and various tools.
The prototype achieved a detection rate of 89 percent malicious files flagged in tests but only identified 26 percent of total malware samples.
