Last week’s AMTSO conference in Lisbon was a fantastic experience -- great discussions, sharp questions, and an engaged audience! 🤓
In my talk (video is now available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQagBMFVCjE), I explored how traditional antivirus testing methodologies are falling behind in the era of AI-driven cyber threats. We revisited our earlier work on Reinforcement Learning–powered ransomware and connected it to recent developments, including LLM-powered attacks such as APT28’s LAMEHUG operation. The key takeaway: malware testing must evolve to assess adaptive, AI-enabled threats that can modify their tactics in real time.
I’m grateful to the AMTSO community for the opportunity to share these insights and to everyone who joined the discussion on rethinking AV testing in the age of intelligent malware. Looking forward to continued collaboration on building the next generation of testing standards.
