BlueHat v18 || Hardening Hyper-V through offensive security research
From Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) :
“Humans are susceptible to social engineering. Machines are susceptible to tampering. Machine learning is vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Singular machine learning models can be “gamed” leading to unexpected outcomes.”
In this talk, they compare the difficulty of tampering with cloud-based models and client-based models. Then discuss how they develop stacked ensemble models to make machine learning defenses less susceptible to tampering and significantly improve overall protection for customers. They talk about the diversity of base ML models and technical details on how they are optimized to handle different threat scenarios. Lastly, they describe suspected tampering activity they have witnessed using protection telemetry from over half a billion computers, and whether mitigation worked.
