AI helps keeping Gmail inboxes malware free [slides]

Here are the slides of my recent talk at FIC on how Google uses AI to strengthen Gmail's document defenses and withstand attacks that evade traditional antivirus solutions.

This talk recounts how in the last few years we researched and developed a specialized office document scanner that combines a custom document analyzer with deep-learning to detect malicious docx and xls that bypass standard AVs. In 2021 our AI scanner was able to detect 36% additional malicious documents that eluded other scanners on average and 178% at peak performance.

I hope you will find those slides useful and informative. If you have any questions, please ask away, will do my best to answer :)
