Yesterday, IBM released a blog post detailing its technology for AI-enhanced protection against malware including ransomware on its SSDs, the fourth generation of IBM's FlashCore Module (FCM) technology. As detailed by them, the latest revision of FCM (FCM4) now supports artificial intelligence, but applied for the purpose of detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats as they arise.
Previous generations of FCM are already capable of scanning all incoming data without impacting performance, but lack the enhanced features of AI. FCM4 monitors statistics for every single I/O operation, and uses machine learning to detect threats like ransomware in under a minute.
