Accelerating Spear Phishing Detection Using NVIDIA Morpheus and NeMo

in

First things first: what is spear phishing? It’s like regular phishing, but with more personalized attention. The bad guys send you an email that looks legit, but it’s actually a trap to steal your sensitive information or infect your computer with malware. And let me tell ya, they are getting better at this game every day!

But don’t freak out, my dear cybersecurity warriors! We have a solution for you: synthetic data generation using NVIDIA Morpheus and NeMo.

Here’s how it works: we take some benign e-mails (the ones that are safe to open) and use them as training data for our AI models. Then, we create new e-mails with the same style and syntax but with malicious intent using NVIDIA Morpheus. This way, our AI can learn how to detect spear phishing e-mails based on their content rather than just looking at keywords or patterns.

Now, some numbers. In a recent experiment, we used off-the-shelf models and missed 16% (about 600) of malicious e-mails. But when we added the new intent model feature in our detection pipeline using synthetic data generation, we achieved 100% detection!

That’s right, We caught every single spear phishing e-mail trained solely on synthetic e-mails. And that’s not all: NVIDIA Morpheus and NeMo can also help us build a comprehensive approach to enterprise security by providing tools for securing our data with AI at multiple levels.

So, if you want to bolster your cybersecurity game using NVIDIA Morpheus and NeMo, here’s what you need:

1. Benign e-mails (training data)
2. A computer with an NVIDIA GPU for training the AI models
3. The NVIDIA AI platform to build your solution using NVIDIA Morpheus and NeMo
4. Some patience, as this is not a quick fix but rather a long-term investment in cybersecurity

And that’s it! With synthetic data generation using NVIDIA Morpheus and NeMo, you can say goodbye to those ***** spear phishing e-mails once and for all.
