This talk, given by Prof. Axel Legay (UCLouvain), highlights the benefits of Artificial Intelligence in malware analysis. The first part of the talk is dedicated to the challenge of malware analysis, while the second shows how machine learning and formal verification team up to obtain better performances than classical static/dynamic anti-virus techniques. The last part of the talk briefly discusses the use of federated learning in collaborative malware analysis.
