DeepLocker has changed the game of malware evasion by taking a fundamentally different approach from any other current evasive and targeted malware. Here's what you need to know.

IBM Research developed DeepLocker to better understand how several existing AI models can be combined with current malware techniques to create a particularly challenging new breed of malware. This class of AI-powered evasive malware conceals its intent until it reaches a specific victim. It unleashes its malicious action as soon as the AI model identifies the target through indicators like facial recognition, geolocation and voice recognition.
