What is "catastrophic forgetting" in deep learning, why does it matter, and what can you do about it? Let Sophos AI Senior Data Scientist @hillarymsanders break it down for you in our latest blog post!

@Hexacorn @ReversingLabs Love to see it! Let us know what cool stuff you get up to with it!

Sometimes a successful scam is just a simple ask away... Here's what to look out for.

Often, in Business Email Compromise (BEC) gift card scams, scammers will pose as someone from the targets’ company with a seemingly simple request.

It's the holidays, and gift cards can make great presents, but they're also a target for scammers who want a quick payout. Younghoo Lee and @rharang break down how one of these gift card scams works, and how @SophosAI's email model can help catch them! https://t.co/Hrt82rYtsD

@RonnyTNL @eklinebarg @joshua_saxe Both @hillarymsanders and @awalinsopan are researchers on our team and do amazing work in the intersection of ML/visualization and infosec!

[Sven Cattell @comathematician]

@realweirddata @rharang/@SophosAI's SOREL is why I got a giant NAS. 😁

👇ML Yara rule generated by @SophosAI's YaraML tool for matching Sunburst / altered Solarwinds PEs; trained using 3 PEs matching FireEye's rule and tested using 3 *other* PEs matching their rule, which it detected successfully ... (https://t.co/u3TVINmJw3) ...

[Andrew Windsor @hostiledata]

For anyone in #infosec and #MachineLearning / #DeepLearning this is a great release by @SophosAI building on top of the work done by @EndgameInc and their EMBER malware dataset. Get at it security #DataScience people.

[inguz ᛜ outcomes @hughpyle]

This is cool: a large and high-quality tagged dataset of (defanged) malicious executables for ML mode training.

[Joshua Saxe @joshua_saxe]

📢 More OSS work from @SophosAI -- this time, YaraML, an open source project for compiling scikit-learn logistic regression and random forest models to Yara for easy model sharing and deployment. A contribution to bridging ML and signatures in the infosec community 👇

[Sophos Artificial Intelligence @SophosAI]

Want to exchange MLsec models in a readable text format like Yara? Or use them where heavyweight ML frameworks aren't available? Good news! Today Sophos AI is releasing YaraML, a tool for compiling sklearn binary classifiers to Yara for easy deployment! https://t.co/U82YyNXC3g
