Trend Micro Predictive Machine Learning (PML) uses advanced machine learning technology
to
correlate threat information and perform in-depth file analysis to detect emerging
unknown
security risks through digital fingerprinting, application programming interface (API)
mapping,
and other file features.
In File Security, when PML detects an unknown or low-prevalence file, the Advanced
Threat Scan Engine (ATSE) extracts the file's features and sends the report to the
PML engine hosted on the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network (SPN). Through use of
malware modeling, PML compares the sample to the malware model, assigns a probability
score, and determines the probable malware type that the file contains.
