Carnegie Mellon Researchers Use Mobile Users Behavior to Predict Exposure to Malicious Websites
A new study from Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab takes a proactive approach to determine when exposure to malicious websites can occur.
"Most traditional security defenses are reactive, and warn users only after or at the time they've visited a malicious website," said Mahmood Sharif, a Ph.D. student in CMU's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. "We wanted to figure out: are there hints about a user's behavior that could tell us when something bad is going to happen before it happens?"
