BITDEFENDER IN A SLIDE

• Over 500M systems use some form of Bitdefender technology worldwide

• 11 offices worldwide (4 in Romania)• R&D offices in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Iasi

• Unusual patterns in network traffic (local & network) – detect traffic spikes, anomalies and unusual connections

• Face detection/recognition exploration

• Image convolution with ML - find invariants in images – scaling, rotation, translation)

• Securing IOT devices for Windows Azure/Amazon platforms

• Securing Cars (include hardware opportunities)

• Large Scale Document Clustering and Analysis over ElasticSearch

• Smart Correlation Agents – Classification and clustering Security Events

DIVERSITY IN SECURITY

• Time series RNN – identify malware and clean processes using API calls from running sequence

• NLP Information extraction – extract structure from unstructured data

• Generative Models – understand better what your model is capable to learn

• Semi-Supervised Learning – model a system that ask for human interaction when uncertainty is high

• Persistent virtual memory across virtual machine snapshots – explore multiple paths/branches in symbolic execution

• Big data analysis of execution traces – automated testing system based on symbolic execution

• Your idea related to security!

DIVERSITY IN SECURITY

• Submit an idea, search for other ideas in Diplodocus or e-mail to alupei@bitdefender.com

• Set an interview with student and discuss with academic mentor• Interviews will start on 16th of November• Some areas require strong theoretical skills (e.g. math for Machine Learning)

• 6 month scholarship, start as early as possible

• Expect innovation, papers and maybe patents
