July 25, 2019 TH Author AI and machine learning, antivirus, Automation, Cybersecurity, detection evasion, Endpoint security, LockerGoga, machine learning, Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, Microsoft Defender ATP, Microsoft security intelligence, monotonic models, next generation protection, Windows Defender Antivirus
