Trend Micro Predictive Machine Learning (PML) uses advanced machine learning technology
to
correlate threat information and perform in-depth file analysis to detect emerging
unknown
security risks through digital fingerprinting, application programming interface (API)
mapping,
and other file features.
In File Security SDK, when PML detects an unknown or low-prevalence file, the security
agent
scans the file using the Advanced Threat Scan Engine (ATSE) to extract file features
and sends
the report to the PML engine hosted on the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network (SPN).
Through
use of malware modeling, PML compares the sample to the malware model, assigns a probability
score, and determines the probable malware type that the file contains.
