Microsoft has introduced Project Ire, an artificial intelligence prototype aimed at reversing malware — a task typically handled by skilled human security researchers. The system identifies malicious files by analyzing software at multiple levels, from binary code to control flow and behavioral patterns. In early tests, Project Ire correctly flagged 90% of malicious Windows driver files and maintained a low false positive rate of 2%, indicating its potential to streamline threat detection. Unlike traditional antivirus methods, this system investigates deeper, even identifying hard-to-detect malware linked to elite hacking groups. While still a prototype, Project Ire has shown promise in complementing human researchers. Microsoft plans to integrate it into its Defender platform.
