INFOSECML

I got involved with security quite by accident. My first brush with Information security was in 1989 when the company I worked for was told that the drivers disks we supplied with one of our graphics cards had a virus on it. My initial thought at the time was that this was rubbish but I and my team looked at the disk (a 5 1/4 inch disk) and discovered something calling itself the Brain virus installed on the boot sector. We disassembled the virus to understand how it worked and discovered that it was broken; whilst it could replicate itself it couldn't actually trigger (wiping the hard disk)... Machine learning can transform the effectiveness of information security strategies
